Ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil plus 2 tablespoons |
2 5 -pound domestic ducks, cut into 8 pieces |
essence, recipe follows |
1 cup flour |
3 cups chopped onions |
2 cups chopped bell peppers |
2 cups chopped celery |
salt and cayenne |
2 bay leaves |
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch slices |
8 cups water |
1 cup chopped green onions |
3 cups cooked white rice |
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika |
2 tablespoons salt |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
1 tablespoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon onion powder |
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano |
1 tablespoon dried thyme |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy sauce pan, over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the duck pieces with Essence. Sear the duck pieces for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Whisk in the flour. Cook the mixture for about 10-12 minutes for a dark roux, or until the mixture is the color of chocolate and has a nutty aroma. The roux has to be stirred continuously to prevent it from burning. Stir in the vegetables. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables start to wilt. Stir in the bay leaves and smoked sausage. Slowly stir in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, skimming off the fat occasionally. Stir in the green onions. Ladle the gumbo into a bowl and garnish with rice.
2. Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
3. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
