Smoked Duck. Jeferson García in Afluente

Smoked Duck. Jeferson García in Afluente

Afluente is the reference that shows the consolidation of Jeferson García's work, the city to which he returned after training for more than a decade in Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Thailand, Denmark…

The duck in this recipe comes from the Colombian plains. The idea originated the first time Jeferson visited the páramo and found wild ducks living in the lagoons. Don Álvaro is his supplier, providing ducks from his farm, which is crossed by a river that originates in the Chingaza volcano.
