Farm duck, tomato and chorizo
This dish is featured in the magazine 'Chef's Special' and was created by Garry de Boer, Culinary Marketing Manager of HANOS Netherlands.Below is a short explanation from Garry on why this dish is well-suited for spring:
"I chose Dutch farm duck. The meat is beautiful, tender in texture, and light. When spring begins, I think of the sun. With ingredients such as bomba rice – prepared as paella –, tomato, and chorizo sausage, my dish has a distinctly Spanish approach! To keep the dish fresh, I combined the duck with fennel; this fits perfectly with spring."
