The arroz de pato at Aldea is a flavorful rice dish with duck confit, chorizo, olives and duck cracklings! These ingredients make a powerhouse of umami flavors, all working together without overpowering. I already love rice dishes, but the crisp, thin pieces of duck skin in this dish set it apart from all the others.
