2 & 1⁄2-3 litres chicken stock | |
6 tablespoons clarified butter | |

1 medium onion, finely chopped | |

Instructions
1. | If using a whole duck, remove the neck and wings and put in the bottom of a roasting tray. |
2. | Stuff the cavity of the duck with thyme, half an orange and a good pinch of sea salt. |
3. | Put the duck in the roasting tray on top of the trimmings. |
4. | Cover with foil and roast for 40 minutes, then uncover and continue to cook until golden brown (approx 40-50 minutes). |
5. | If using leg or breast portions, pan-fry or roast until golden. Cool then remove the meat. |
6. | Put the chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. |
7. | Put the clarified butter into a separate saucepan, add the sage, onion and mushrooms and fry until golden brown. |
8. | Add the duck meat. |
9. | Add the rice, pour in the wine and let it bubble up while stirring. |
10. | Add one ladle of hot chicken stock and stir until the liquid has been absorbed. |
11. | Repeat until most of the stock has been added. |
12. | When cooked, the rice should still have a slight bite to it, and not be too soft. |
13. | Finish the risotto by beating in the mascarpone and truffle paste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. |
14. | The risotto should be glossy and flowing (add a little more chicken stock if necessary). |
15. | Check the seasoning then garnish with balsamic and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. |
