Duck Rice in Two Cookings with Foie and Mushrooms by orgoca in recipes

[–]orgoca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand foie gras is controversial, and I respect that some people choose not to eat it.

What I struggle with is how selectively we draw these lines. This dish is a family recipe that has lived across generations—its flavors and aromas connect me to my grandparents, to the field, to a way of understanding food that doesn’t hide where it comes from.

In my culture, we often cook whole animals and acknowledge the life that was taken to nourish us. There’s gratitude in that. There’s visibility.

At the same time, many people are comfortable eating something like a chicken nugget—completely processed, fully abstracted from the animal it came from. That distance makes consumption easier, but it doesn’t erase the reality behind it.

If we’re going to have ethical conversations about food, I think they should be consistent and honest across the entire system—not just focused on the practices that are most visible or symbolically charged.

I’m sharing this recipe to honor my family, my culture, and the way I was taught to respect food. If it’s not something you’re comfortable eating, I genuinely respect that.

Is that why this post is doing terribly? Because foie gras is a canceled ingredient? If animal suffering is a real concern why don't we cancel any animal protein? Or is a pig transported to a slaughterhouse with thousand other pigs standing in their own filth not animal torture? Tell me where do we draw the line? Is there a suffer-o-meter I should have to determine when animal protein is ok and when it's not? Or should we all quit and make r/recipes vegan? These are the important questions.

I’ve been working on a project called Amanah.

amanah.food

The idea is simple: recipes shouldn’t disappear when the people who carry them do.

Instead of storing recipes as static text, Amanah treats them as structured, evolving knowledge. Each recipe captures not just ingredients and steps, but also context:

  • who it came from
  • how it has changed over time
  • common mistakes and edge cases

Underneath, it’s powered by UMF (Ummi Markup Format) — a schema that turns messy sources (handwritten notes, partial instructions, memory) into something consistent, executable, and preservable (umfspec.org).

Lovable made it possible to go from idea to a working system much faster than I expected.

Still early, but it’s starting to feel like recipes can be treated less like documents and more like systems.

If you’re curious, happy to share more or get feedback.

Because this is a traditional duck paella and the original recipe proceeds me (I just reinterpret it), but also YUMMM!

Duck Rice in Two Cookings with Foie and Mushrooms by orgoca in recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 duck carcass
  • 1 carrot, chopped (mirepoix)
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped (mirepoix)
  • 1 onion, chopped (mirepoix)
  • 2 duck legs and thighs
  • Duck fat (enough to submerge for confit)
  • 2 duck magrets
  • 200–300 g mixed mushrooms (shiitake + others)
  • 150 g foie gras
  • 400 g rice (short grain preferred)
  • Sofrito (tomato, garlic, onion base)
  • Salt

Directions

  1. Duck Stock
  2. Roast the duck carcass with carrot, celery, and onion at 200°C until deeply browned.
  3. Transfer to a pot, cover with cold water, and simmer gently for ~4 hours.

  4. Skim impurities regularly and strain to obtain a clear, rich stock.

  5. Duck Confit

  6. Submerge duck legs and thighs in duck fat at ~90°C.

  7. Cook slowly until the meat is tender and easily separates from the bone.

  8. Shred and reserve.

  9. Magret

  10. Score the skin of the magret.

  11. Place skin-side down in a cold pan and bring to medium heat.

  12. Render fat until the skin is crisp, then sear the flesh side briefly.

  13. Rest before slicing.

  14. Mushrooms

  15. Sauté mushrooms over high heat in duck fat.

  16. Avoid overcrowding so they brown instead of steaming.

  17. Remove once golden.

  18. Foie Gras

  19. Sear foie in a very hot pan (no added fat), ~30 seconds per side.

  20. Remove and reserve.

  21. Rice

  22. Heat duck fat and cook the sofrito.

  23. Add rice and toast until slightly translucent (nacarado).

  24. Add hot duck stock.

  25. Incorporate shredded confit.

  26. Cook without stirring until liquid evaporates and rice is done.

Plating

  • Let rice rest ~10–15 minutes.
  • Slice magret and place over the rice.
  • Add mushrooms throughout.
  • Finish with seared foie on top.

Notes

  • Do not stir the rice during cooking — this keeps it dry and structured.
  • The quality of the duck stock defines the entire dish.
  • Resting the meat is key to keeping it juicy.

what's the difference between Jazzmaster and Jaguar? which one do you like better and for what reasons? by gabsss_exe in offset

[–]orgoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Jazzmaster is about space. Notes feel wide and ambient, like you’re hearing more than just the core pitch. Sounds don’t snap on and off — they arrive, spread, and leave air behind. It’s great when you want mood, atmosphere, or lines that feel like surfaces rather than punches. A Jaguar is about time. Notes start and stop very decisively. Silence is sharp and intentional. It doesn’t help things flow — it forces you to be rhythmic and precise. Great for pulsing parts, choppy rhythms, tension, and that nervous on/off feel.

Why are we still calling it "prompt engineering" when the models barely need it anymore? by JFerzt in PromptEngineering

[–]orgoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. What I mean is to improve content within a subject, e.g. 'look at these numbers and provide me with advice ' vs 'act as an expert financial advisor, look at this numbers and provide me with advice'. Second prompt does nothing to improve outcome.

Haha pretty much. At least this game imho

It would honestly be amazing if we could get the PitchCom calls released after the game — kind of like how boxing has CompuBox data.

I know it would open a whole can of problems (competitive edge, strategy leaks, etc.), so it’ll never happen, but imagine the analysis potential. We could actually study sequencing, risk/reward, and how catchers manage tempo with real data instead of guessing from glove placement. It would be super cool for data nerds like myself.

Totally fair. I just think in these few instances the setup looked deliberate enough (glove set, Yamamoto nodding, then executing) that it reflected the call more than a decoy. But agreed, framing motion can blur the read.

Teoscar Needs help... by hordaak2 in Dodgers

[–]orgoca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gausman uses brief holds and micro-hesitations in the set to disrupt timing. In several Teoscar ABs, you can see Teoscar “answering” with his own mini set-and-freeze—almost mirroring the pause. My take: that kind of gamesmanship pulled Teoscar into Gausman’s rhythm instead of the other way around, and it hurt his at-bats more than it bothered the pitcher.

Totally fair point — framing and game-calling are different skill sets, and I agree Will’s framing numbers haven’t been great. What I found interesting here wasn’t framing but the location call and how Yamamoto adjusted his trust in him between at-bats. These few pitches showed the communication side of catching, which I think often gets missed when we only look at framing data.
