This preparation is from Da Nanni, a country restaurant on the way from Verona to Lake Garda. Run by the same family for generations, the restaurant’s signature dish is a stuffed duck that is first boiled, then finished on the grill. The duck loses most of its fat while boiling, so that, once grilled, the meat is very moist with a wonderfully crispy skin. It is one of the most delicious preparations for duck I’ve tasted.
