In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chopped cilantro and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add rice and stir to coat with the mixture, cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Pour in beer and chicken broth; bring to a boil.

Return duck to the pot, add bay leaves, and reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Add green peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with lime wedges and parsley.
