Method:

1. Melt half the butter in a large pan and add the oil. Stir in the onion, garlic and red pepper and fry for 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

2. Stir in the oregano, duck, meat, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until the duck is brown.

3. Pour in the rice and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes. Roughly chop the prawns and add to the saucepan with half of the stock.

4. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the liquid is absorbed. Pour in the remaining stock, a little at a time and continue cooking until the rice is tender but still firm.

5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter. Serve immediately.
