Sprinkle the duck with
salt and pepper and put it in a casserole with the wine, the olive oil,
and 2 cups of water. Put it in the oven at 180 degrees
Celsius and bake for one and a half
hour. Take it out of the oven and set the fluid apart (approximately
3 cups). Stir fry the onion and the garlic 3 minutes. Add the rice and
the parsley, and the fluid, bring to the boil and cook 20 minutes. In
the meantime, cut the duck in pieces. Put 1/3 of the rice mixture in
