Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chicken broth and wine in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and keep at a simmer. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add rice and stir for 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Ladle in ½ cup of the chicken broth mixture and stir constantly with a wooden fork until most of the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth ½ cup at a time and stirring until the rice is tender, about 50 minutes. Stir in the escarole and cook for 2 minutes longer. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breast and cook until medium rare, about 3 minutes per side. Cut on the diagonal into thin slices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the risotto among 4 shallow bowls and fan the duck slices over the top. Serve immediately.
