DUCK AND WILD RICE SALAD



Duck and Wild Rice Salad image

Categories     Salad     Duck     Rice     Roast     Apricot     Pecan     Spring     Sugar Snap Pea     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For dressing
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon mild honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For salad
2 cups wild rice (10 ounces)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cups water
3 cups chicken broth
10 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved diagonally
2 (14-ounces) boneless magret duck breast halves with skin*
6 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally
1 cup moist dried apricots (preferably California; 5 oz), cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 1/2 cups pecans (4 1/2 ounces), chopped and toasted
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make dressing:
  • Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature while making salad.
  • Cook rice:
  • Rinse rice well in a large sieve under cold water, then drain. Heat butter in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in water and broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. (Grains will split open but not all liquid will be absorbed.) Drain well in a colander and cool to warm before adding to dressing. (Spread rice out in a shallow baking pan to cool faster.)
  • Cook sugar snaps and duck while rice is cooking:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cook sugar snaps in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then drain well.
  • Pat duck dry and season with salt and pepper. Score skin in a crosshatch pattern and place duck, skin sides up, in a lightly oiled shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan. Roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 120°F (for medium-rare), about 25 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Transfer duck to a cutting board and when just cool enough to handle, remove skin. Thinly slice skin (scored side down), keeping duck breast warm, loosely covered with foil. Bake skin in baking pan in middle of oven until very crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Cut duck breast halves in half horizontally (butterfly-style), then cut across the grain into thin slices. Add duck and any juices to dressing along with rice, sugar snaps, scallions, apricots, pecans, and salt and toss gently to combine.
  • Just before serving, scatter crisp duck skin on top.
  • Available at D'Artagnan (800-327-8246) and Hudson Valley Foie Gras (877-289-3643).

Tips:

  • Use leftover cooked duck or chicken to make this casserole. You could also prepare a batch of cooked duck or chicken ahead of time and freeze it for later use.
  • Wild rice takes longer to cook than regular rice. Be sure to soak it overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking.
  • If you don't have any wild rice, you can use brown rice instead.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this casserole, such as carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
  • If you like a creamy casserole, stir in 1 cup of sour cream or heavy cream before baking.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking for a cheesy crust.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Duck and wild rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you have some leftover duck or chicken, give this casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
