Yes, you can substitute duck with chicken, turkey, or even beef for a similar stewed dish. Adjust cooking times accordingly as duck has a longer cooking time than chicken.

Yes, for a vegetarian version, replace the duck with hearty vegetables like portobello mushrooms or seitan and use vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust cooking times since vegetables cook faster than meat.
Yes, this stew freezes well. Cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container, leaving some headspace. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Yes, for a slow cooker, follow the steps through browning the duck, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. For an Instant Pot, use the sauté function for Step 1, then pressure cook on high for 20 minutes after adding the liquids.
This hearty stew is a complete meal on its own, but you can serve it with a simple green salad, crusty bread to soak up the sauce, or a side of steamed green beans or broccoli.
