Swaps and substitutions

For a nut-free version, replace pistachios with toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds, or omit them entirely. To avoid dairy or use a vegetarian-friendly option, choose a dairy-free rich sauce and swap the chicken-based glaze for a savory mushroom or vegetable alternative.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky sautéed greens to balance the rich duck and sweet cherry notes. A tart red wine or sparkling water with citrus also works well beside the nutty rice and roasted carrots.
