Steps

  1. Cook rice according to directions on the package. Set aside.

  2. Mix dried wild blueberries in a bowl with cider vinegar, canola oil and honey. Add salt and pepper.

  3. Set aside for 10 minutes, until blueberries swell up slightly.

  4. Mix rice with vinaigrette and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Check seasoning.

Recommendations

To “pull” the duck confit legs, simply place in a large glass bowl and heat for 3 to 4 minutes in the microwaves. They’ll be easy to pull into strips of meat, and better yet if served at room temperature.
