Arroz con pato, also known as Peruvian duck with rice, is a traditional Peruvian dish that combines the rich flavors of duck, rice, and beer. This flavorful dish is a delightful blend of savory and aromatic ingredients that will tantalize your taste buds. Arroz con pato is typically prepared with duck that is braised in beer, along with various seasonings and spices, until it becomes fall-off-the-bone tender. The rice is cooked in the flavorful braising liquid, absorbing all the delicious flavors from the duck and spices. The result is a moist, flavorful rice dish that pairs perfectly with the succulent duck. Arroz con pato is often served with aji verde, a spicy green sauce made with cilantro, chili peppers, and onions, as well as a side of pickled onions and cancha, a toasted corn snack.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Tapas

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups water
1 egg
1 potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
3 small tomatoes, coarsely chopped
½ cup water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground dried aji chile
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 pound lean ground beef
2 large carrots, peeled and cubed
¼ cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tomato
1 teaspoon ketchup

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place the egg into a saucepan, and cover with water by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the egg stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the egg under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold. Chop the egg and set aside in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deep fry the potato cubes until golden brown, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels, and set aside.
  • Place tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water in a blender, and puree until tomatoes are liquefied (peel and seed first, if desired).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, garlic, aji chile powder, cumin, black pepper, and oregano until the onion begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes; pour in the pureed tomatoes, and simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring often. Mix in the ground beef and carrots, and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Break the meat up into small chunks as it cooks. Mix in the chopped hard-cooked egg, peas, and peanut butter until thoroughly combined. Finally, gently stir in the cubes of fried potato.
  • To assemble the dish, oil a flexible plastic bowl (at least 1 cup size) and press cooked rice into the bottom to fill 1/3 of the bowl. Layer about 3/4 inch of meat mixture over the rice, and top with more cooked rice to fill the bowl. With an oiled hand, gently press on the rice to compact the mixture; place a serving plate on top of the bowl, flip, and turn out the rice and meat-filled form. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Garnish with sprinkles of cilantro, chopped tomato, and dollops of ketchup on each serving.

Portuguese duck rice image

This is a version of the classic Portuguese dish of duck & rice, which uses the fragrant, fatty poaching stock from the duck to cook the rice

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole duck , trimmed of excess fat and jointed
small pack coriander
2 bay leaves
1 thyme sprig
1 star anise
1 leek (green top only, keep the white part for the rice)
1 onion , halved
1 carrot
1 large orange , zested and juiced
2 tbsp olive oil
reserved white part of the leek
1 onion , sliced
1 garlic clove
250g basmati rice
100g chorizo , cubed
mint or coriander leaves, to serve
salad , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the duck in your largest pan, cover with water and add the coriander, bay, thyme, star anise, leek top, onion, carrot, orange zest and a grinding of black pepper. Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil, skimming off any scum from the surface. Turn down the heat slightly, cover and simmer for 45 mins, then turn off the heat and let the duck cool in the stock for 15 mins. Drain the stock from the duck, reserving it to cook the rice. Leave the duck to rest until cool enough to handle, then shred the meat away from the bone.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. To make the rice, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and sauté the leek, onion and garlic for 10-12 mins or until soft and aromatic. Add the rice and fry for 5 mins or until the grains are turning golden and crispy, and sticking to the pan. Add 400ml of the duck stock and cook for 15 mins, covered, without stirring, or until the rice is puffed and dry.
  • Stir the duck meat and orange juice through the rice, season, then transfer the mixture to an oiled roasting tin or casserole dish. Top with the chorizo and place on a high shelf in the oven to cook for 20-25 mins or until the rice is crisp and golden. Garnish with coriander or mint leaves, and serve with a salad, if you like.

PERUVIAN STYLE CORIANDER RICE WITH PEAS



Peruvian Style Coriander Rice With Peas image

Loosely adapted from the well-known Peruvian dish, Arroz con Pato, which is very similar to the ubiquitous Spanish Arroz con Pollo, but without the tomatoes. It's also a little spicier, and has thePeruvian addition of a dark beer as part of the liquid(you can sub veg. broth). Peruvian food is unique and delicious-- a cultural mix of native Indian, Spanish, African, Italian, Chinese and, more recently, Japanese cooking. From Bryanna's book "20 Minutes to Dinner", and posted on VeganFeastKitchen.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
1 large onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons minced minced fresh pickled canned hot peppers (such as aji amarillo, Peruvian yellow hot peppers)
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or more, or use Italian parsley instead)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups white basmati rice (I use whole wheat basmati- or converted rice)
2 cups dark beer (or ale, or stout or nonalcoholic beer, or substitute veg. stock)
1 cup boiling water (with chicken-style vegan bouillon cubes, powder or paste for 3 cups broth-I use homemade veg. broth)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups chinese vegetarian roast duck, rinsed, drained and cut into smaller chunks (mun chai'ya)
2 cups vegan chicken, strips browned in a non-stick pan (or reconstituted Soy Curls)
2 cups seitan (or commercial savory baked tofu or tempeh or other poultry substitute, cut into cubes and browned in)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained (1 can)
cooked corn, drained (1 can)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet or saute pan with a tight lid (can be non-stick), sprayed with oil, saute the onion, bell peppers, hot peppers, and garlic until the onion begins to brown a bit. Add water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from sticking, as needed.
  • Add the cilantro, coriander, and cumin, and stir-fry for a minute.
  • Add the raw rice and stir-fry briefly.
  • Pour in the beer and the hot water with the bouillon, and the peas, with pepper to taste, plus your Protein choice and any Optional addition you might be using.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes(longer for whole wheat basmati-about 45 mins), or until the rice is done.
  • Toss ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned Dutch oven or large pot. This will help to develop the flavor of the dish and prevent the duck from sticking.
  • Brown the duck legs in batches. This will help to render the fat and crisp up the skin.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many duck legs at once, they will not brown properly.
  • Use a good quality beer. The beer will add flavor to the dish, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the duck legs for at least 1 hour. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the arroz con pato with a side of rice and beans. This is a traditional Peruvian dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.

Conclusion:

Arroz con pato is a delicious and flavorful Peruvian dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of duck, beer, and rice is simply irresistible. Follow these tips to make the best arroz con pato you've ever tasted.
