Recipe courtesy New New Orleans Cooking by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season duck pieces with Creole spice and brown on all sides, in batches, if necessary. Remove duck pieces to a plate, reduce heat to medium, add lard and melt. Stir in flour and cook, whisking, until it becomes a nutty-brown roux, about 15 minutes. Add onions, celery, bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until tender. Return duck pieces to pot along with stock, bay leaves and garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmering, cover and cook 2 hours, occasionally skimming excess fat from top of gumbo.
When sauce is thickened and flavors are well-blended, adjust seasonings, to taste with pepper sauce, Worcestershire, Creole spice, salt and pepper. Serve with steamed rice and green onions.
