Stir in the stock over a medium heat, ladle by ladle, waiting for each addition to absorb before adding the next. Keep the heat on medium too hot and the stock will evaporate rather than be absorbed by the rice. When the rice is creamy and justcooked, take off the heat, add the duck, then cover for 5 mins to heat through.

Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Risotto on the menu? Try pairing with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Antinori Badian a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.
