Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup canola or peanut oil
1 cup flour
1 white onion, diced
5 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
8 ounces andouille, diced
3 quarts chicken stock
2 tablespoons thyme
2 tablespoons oregano
3 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups roasted duck meat

Steps:

  • Prepare the roux: In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. (A large stockpot works, but a Dutch oven is ideally shaped for whisking a roux.) Slowly shake the flour over the oil with one hand while whisking with the other hand. Continue to whisk until the roux darkens to a glossy, dark red-brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and stir the onion, celery and bell peppers into the roux to prevent it from burning, about 3 minutes. Stir in the sausage and cook until coated, a few more minutes.
  • Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly as you add the liquid. Add the thyme, oregano, bay leaves and garlic and simmer over medium-low, stirring and skimming every 20 minutes, until the flavors have melded, about 2 hours. For a thinner gumbo, add water, as desired (up to 2 cups).
  • Stir in the duck meat just before serving and cook until warmed, 3 to 5 minutes.
