Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6 Pekin duck breasts
  • 30 large asparagus spears
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cup medium grain rice
  • 3 cup Cane River Pecan Elliott pecans
  • 1 cup Cane River Pecan pieces
  • 2 tablespoon Cane River Pecan oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, small dice
  • 1 large green bell pepper, small dice
  • 1 rib celery, small dice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/4 lb chicken livers, pureed
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bunch fresh scallions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 4 cup chicken stock (or 2 bouillon cubes dissolved in 4 cups water)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss asparagus with 2 tablespoons butter, season with salt and pepper, and bake 10 minutes.
  2. In a large sauce pot, sauté onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic in 2 tablespoons pecan oil until tender.
  3. Add pecan pieces, ground beef, and chicken livers. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned.
  4. Add chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, chopped rosemary, and bring to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 12 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit covered 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and toss with Elliott pecans and sliced scallions.
  6. Season duck breasts with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a medium-heat Dutch oven. Cook until skin is golden and crispy, then flip 2–3 minutes for medium-medium rare doneness. Remove and rest on paper towel 5 minutes.
  7. To assemble: Place 5 asparagus spears in the center of each plate. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons pecan dirty rice on top. Slice duck breasts and fan over the rice. Drizzle with pecan oil and garnish with fresh chives.
