There are a lot of recipes for cooking duck. In my life in the north of Italy, I learned that n Veneto, for example, a typical pasta known as bigoli is topped with no-tomato duck sauce. In Piedmont, in Novara where I live, it is stuffed with rice, while in Friuli is filled with soaked bread, egg yolks, chicken livers, butter, sage and rosemary. In Lombardy it is cooked with cabbage. Tuscany is famous for its duck in orange sauce but in reality there is another recipe, less known, in which this bird is cooked with pine nuts, raisins and finally unsweetened chocolate powder is added.
And then there are new combinations :))
