Directions
- 1
Cook the rice in hot chicken broth with turmeric and smoked paprika according to the package instructions (approximately 12 minutes). Once cooked, fluff with a fork, lightly salt, and keep warm under a lid.
- 2
Prepare the garlic emulsion: mash 2 cloves of garlic into a fine paste with a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the garlic paste and white wine vinegar. Gradually add the sunflower oil in a very fine thread while continuously whisking until a smooth and creamy texture is achieved. Adjust seasoning and refrigerate.
- 3
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sweet peppers and sauté for 2 minutes until lightly colored.
- 4
Add the shredded duck confit to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes while stirring to reheat and give a light crust on the surface. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
- 5
Add the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at high heat while stirring gently — the tomatoes should remain slightly firm and start to release their juice.
- 6
Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Gently mix the entire mixture over medium heat for 1 minute to combine flavors and ensure everything is hot. Adjust seasoning.
- 7
Generously dress the mixture in a shallow bowl or a plate with a rim. Place small dollops of garlic emulsion on top using a spoon or a piping bag.
- 8
Garnish with a few fresh edible flowers, if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an even more flavorful duck, reheat it dry in the skillet without any added fat: the natural juices of the confit will melt and caramelize the meat, giving it an irresistible crust before adding the vegetables.
