 Ingredients List

  • 1 ea 5 pound duckling
  • 2 ea onions, medium dice
  • 2 ea ribs celery, sliced medium
  • 2 ea bell peppers, medium dice
  • 2 T garlic, minced
  • 1.5 c dark roux
  • 1.5 t Creole seasoning blend
  • 1.5 t Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 t salt
  • 2 t Tabasco
  • 3/4 lb andouille, sliced
  • 2 T Kitchen Bouquet (for color)
  • 1 t white pepper
  • 1/4 c green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 c parsley, chopped
  • 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 long-grain rice.
  • This is an incredibly rich and flavorful gumbo, one of the best I've ever
  • had. You can also try it with smoked chicken or turkey, or any other type
  • of poultry. I learned this recipe from Chef Patrick Mould, C.E.C., former
  • chef of the Hub City Diner in Lafayette, Louisiana. Typos By Jim Kirk -
