Ingredients

The duck is boiled and shredded; rice is cooked in the stock, layered with the meat and baked until golden.

Chicken and turkey must be fully cooked; keep raw poultry away from other foods and wash hands and boards after handling it.
Cool cooked rice within an hour, refrigerate it and eat it within 24 hours: bacteria that make toxins can multiply in rice left at room temperature.
Avoid dry-cured or cold-smoked sausage and ham with low immunity, or heat them in the dish until steaming.

The duck must be fully cooked. Rice rule: refrigerate within an hour and reheat once within 24 hours. Rich — skim fat off the stock.
