    List of Ingredients




    Duck & Andouille Sausage Gumbo

    4 to 5 pound duck
    2 onions, medium diced
    2 stalks celery, sliced medium
    2 bell peppers, medium diced
    2 tablespoons garlic, minced
    1-1/2 cups dark roux
    1-1/2 teaspoons Creole/Cajun seasoning
    1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons Tabasco
    3/4 pound andouille, sliced
    2 tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet (for color)
    1 teaspoon white pepper
    1/4 cup green onions, chopped
    1/4 cup parsley, chopped

    Recipe



    Smoke the duck, and debone. Make a duck stock with the bones -- cover
    the bones with 4-1/2 quarts water and the end pieces from the onions,
    celery and bell pepper. Simmer for 2 hours. Strain and reserve the
    stock. It is preferable to do this a day ahead of time, so that the
    stock may be refrigerated and defatted.
    Place 1 gallon of stock in a gumbo pot and bring to a boil. Add the
    roux, Creole seasoning, Tabasco, Worcestershire, white pepper,
    andouille and half of the onion, celery and bell pepper (the "holy
    trinity"). Simmer for 1 hour. Add the remaining onion, celery and
    bell pepper, and 2 cups water. Simmer for 1 hour. (Adding half of the
    trinity later in cooking helps keep them intact, after the first half
    gives up all their flavor and texture and disintegrates into the
    gumbo.) Dice the duck meat into large chunks, discarding the skin.
    Add the duck meat, green onions and parsley. Simmer for 15 minutes.
    Serve in gumbo bowls over steamed rice.
