A pressure cooker and chicken broth always seem to make something magical — hence why they are two of Azza’s favorite cooking products. In this recipe, March Featured Chef, Azza Gallab, combines chicken broth and ghee with pasture-raised duck legs for the main course that falls right off the bone and melts in your mouth.
US Wellness Meats sources pasture-raised duck from sustainable family farms in upstate New York. The ducks enjoy a free-range lifestyle and a non-GMO diet free of growth hormones and antibiotics.
After pressure cooking the meat for about an hour, you can crisp them up in a cast-iron skillet for a crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside duck delight! Azza suggests using the leftover broth for a stew or gravy. Serve the meat atop your favorite blend of veggies: a salad or sautéed, buttery goodness.
