Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 duck legs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup onions chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons yellow pepper ground
  • 1 cup coriander ground
  • 1/2 cup pisco Peruvian alcoholic beverage
  • 4 cups duck broth
  • 1 cup beer preferably dark
  • 3/4 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup carrots cut into cubes
  • 2 red peppers chopped
  • 1 yellow peppers cut into strips
  • 3 cups rice
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by pricking the skin of the duck legs with a fork or small knife and seasoning them well with salt and pepper. Fry the duck legs in some cooking oil in a large pot, turning on all sides until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pot add a little more oil if necessary and sauté the onion until just translucent, then add the garlic, chopped yellow pepper and coriander and stir it all together under medium heat for a couple of minutes to soften.
  • Pour in the pisco, duck broth and the beer and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the duck legs in the pan and cook everything on medium-low for about 35 minutes.
  • After the 35 minutes take out the chicken legs in a separate dish and cover to keep warm. To the pan add in the rice, peas, cubed carrot, yellow pepper and chopped spicy pepper and simmer on low for another 15-20 minutes until all the ingredients have become tender.
  • Serve the rice and vegetable mix alongside the duck leg, garnishing everything with thin strips of yellow pepper.

Enjoy!
