Dirty Duck Rice

Dirty Duck Rice
Serves 4 to 6 people

3 large duck livers
1/2 cup whole milk
6 confit duck legs (available on line from Dartagnan.com and Mapleleaffarms.com)
2 tablespoons duck fat (available from the above on line sources)
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons brandy
3 cups cooked farro verde
3 cups cooked white rice
2 teaspoons gumbo file powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley

Soak the duck livers in milk for 24 hours. Remove the livers from the milk and chop them fine; set aside. Pick the meat from the duck legs and set aside (You should have 3 cups. If you have more than 3 cups you can save the extra for a snack later.)

Heat the duck fat in a large sauté pan over medium heat until the fat begins to melt.  Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Add duck livers and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the brandy and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add farro, rice, picked duck meat, file powder and cook, stirring, until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper.  Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

    How many ounces of duck liver for the Dirty Duck Rice recipe? A whole duck liver is between 1-2 lbs so three, at around $100 each (at Dartagnan.com), is obscene.

      Chuck,
      This recipe calls for regular old duck livers which are the size of large chicken livers. I believe you are thinking of fattened duck lives also known as foie gras.
