Serves 4.
Ingredients
4 duck legs, confit
2 tbsp olive oil
4 shallots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
250g baldo rice or short-grain rice
100g organic raisins
400ml chicken stock
100g pine nuts
1 tsp hemp seeds
1 large sheet of yufka pastry, approx. 60 x 60cm, or filo pastry
15g clarified butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/gas mark 6.
Remove the meat from the duck legs and shred. Discard the skin and bones.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté the shallots and garlic for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and raisins, coating thoroughly with the oil. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the rice is done but still moist. Allow to cool a little, then add the pine nuts and hemp seeds, and combine well.
When working with yufka pastry, just as you would with filo, make sure you keep it under a damp cloth, otherwise it will dry out and break easily. Lay out the yufka sheet, spoon all the pilaf mixture into the centre and scatter the duck meat on top. Fold the yufka edges into the centre to enclose the mixture and make a parcel.
Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan and carefully place the yufka parcel directly into the pan. Cook on a low to medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy. Using a large, flat, slotted spoon, carefully turn it over and cook on the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.
Then place the pan in the oven and cook at 180°C fan/gas mark 6 for 5-6 minutes.
Serve hot.
