Stuffed Duck with Rice – Recipe & Cooking Method

Welcome to today’s dish! We’re preparing Stuffed Duck with Rice, a hearty and festive main course often served at banquets, family gatherings, and special occasions. This rich dish is usually paired with vermicelli rice, fresh salad, and a flavorful duck broth on the side. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients (Serves 6)

Stuffed Duck with Rice

 

  • 1 large duck (about 1.5–2 kg)

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 5 large onions

  • 250 g white rice (parboiled, Basmati or regular)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

  • 2 fresh lemons, cut into wedges

  • 2 tbsp salt and black pepper (adjust to taste)

  • Spices: saffron, ginger, coriander, paprika

  • Vinegar

  • Fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1 – Prepare the Stuffing
Finely slice the onions and mix them in a bowl with lemon wedges, rice, salt, black pepper, saffron, coriander, ginger, and paprika. Combine well to create a flavorful stuffing mixture. Set aside while you prepare the duck.

Step 2 – Clean and Season the Duck
Place the duck in a large bowl filled with water, vinegar, and lemon juice. Rub well and leave it for at least 1 hour to remove any blood or odor.

In a small bowl, mix the remaining spices (saffron, coriander, ginger, paprika) with salt, black pepper, lemon pieces, and a bit of oil. Rub this mixture all over the duck, inside and out, ensuring it’s well coated. Leave it to absorb the flavors for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3 – Stuff and Cook the Duck
Fill the cavity of the duck with the prepared rice-onion mixture. Tie the legs with kitchen string to keep the stuffing inside.

Place the duck in a large pot of water with onion slices and simmer until partially cooked. Then remove it from the broth and transfer to a roasting pan.

Step 4 – Roast the Duck
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roast the duck until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 60–70 minutes, depending on size.

Serve the Stuffed Duck with Rice hot, with the aromatic stuffing inside, a side of vermicelli rice, salad, and duck broth. The result? A showstopping centerpiece with tender meat, rich flavors, and an unforgettable aroma.
