Preparation

  1. In a heavy-bottom pot over medium heat, cook the onions in the oil until deep golden. Rinse the rice in cold water, drain well and add. Continue cooking, stirring frequently until the rice begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, duck, okra, salt and pepper and cook, uncovered, until all the broth has been absorbed and air holes appear on the surface of the rice, about 20 minutes. Turn heat to very low. Cover the pot with a towel. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Add extra salt and pepper to taste and serve.
