Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 (12-ounce) bottle stout beer (recommended: Abita Turbo Dog)
6 cups dark chicken stock, or chicken stock or water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (4 to 5-pound) duck
4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups small dice onion
3/4 cup small dice celery
3/4 cup small dice green, red and/or yellow bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 bay leaves
5 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage (or other smoked sausage), cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Steamed white rice, for serving
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
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 oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Rinse the duck under cold running water both inside and out. Remove any excess fat at the cavity opening and at the neck. Use a sharp boning or butcher's knife to cut the back on either side of the spine. Remove the spine and reserve for stock. Cut through the breastbone of the duck to give you 2 halves. Cut the legs from each half as well as the first 2 digits of the wings. Set the legs aside, and cut the breasts in half horizontally.
  • Season the duck with 2 teaspoons of Essence. Place a large Dutch oven over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until hot. Place the seasoned duck, skin side down in the pan and sear until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the duck over and sear on the second side as well for an additional 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the duck from the pan and place on a platter while you make the roux.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the pan as well as the flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir the roux continuously over medium heat until the color of dark chocolate, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the onions, celery and peppers and garlic to the roux and stir, gently until the vegetables are slightly wilted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the beer over the vegetables and stir to incorporate. Add the stock/water to the pan with the thyme, bay leaves, Essence, cayenne pepper and the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the sausage. Stir the pot well to ensure that the roux and the stock are well blended. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the gumbo to a boil; then lower to a simmer. Return the seared duck pieces to the pan and cook (skimming any foam and fat that may rise to the surface), for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After an hour and a half, remove the duck pieces from the gumbo and place on a platter to cool. Once the duck is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and meat from the bones and add the meat to the gumbo. Discard the skin and bones and re-season the gumbo, if necessary.
  • To serve the gumbo, ladle 1 cup into a heated soup bowl with 1/4 cup white rice. Garnish with the green onions and chopped parsley.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

UPPERLINE'S DUCK AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO



Upperline's Duck and Andouille Gumbo image

Chefs dating back to Upperline restaurant's opening in New Orleans, in 1982, have contributed to the development of its famous duck-andouille gumbo. Miguel Gabriel, a longtime Upperline "soup chef," has been responsible for the dark-roux brew since 2010. The recipe also works if you substitute chicken stock for duck stock - and buy the roast duck from your local Chinese restaurant.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup canola or peanut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 white onion, diced
5 celery stalks, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 links andouille sausage or other smoked sausage (about 1/2 pound), cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
3 quarts duck or chicken stock
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons dried oregano
3 dried bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups pulled roasted duck meat, skin discarded and meat roughly chopped (from 1 to 2 roast ducks; buy these from a Chinese restaurant if you like)
Salt, to taste
Hot sauce (such as Crystal brand), to taste
Cooked rice or potato salad, for serving

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. (An extended cook time would turn the meat mushy.) Add the salt and hot sauce to taste. Serve over rice or potato salad.

SMOKED DUCK AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO



Smoked Duck and Andouille Gumbo image

Categories     Sauce     Duck     Roast     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 duck legs, or 1 whole duck
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil or rendered duck fat, plus extra for cooking okra
1/2 cup flour
2 medium onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 pound andouille sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups rich Chicken Stock (p. 206)
2 cups sliced okra, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon filé powder, optional
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Bouquet Garni (p. 145)
Hot sauce
Cooked white rice, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the duck in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast the legs for about 1 hour (the whole duck for about 2 hours), until tender. If desired, save the rendered fat to make the roux. Let the duck cool and pick the meat off the bones.
  • Heat the 1/2 cup oil (or duck fat) in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or cast-iron pot over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the flour and whisk constantly until the roux turns a deep brown resembling the color of peanut butter (or even a little darker, for a richer flavor), 10-12 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, and celery, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage and cook 3 more minutes. Then add the garlic and whisk in the stock, 1 cup at a time. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, sear the okra and add to the pot, along with 1/2 cup scallions. Add the thyme, optional filé powder, Worcestershire sauce, Bouquet Garni, hot sauce to taste, the reserved duck meat, and a little salt. Simmer over low heat, stirring from time to time, for at least 1 hour. Skim off any fat from the top. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce and serve hot, with or without rice. Garnish with the reserved scallions.

DUCK AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO



Duck and Andouille Gumbo image

Duck and Andouille Gumbo, I prefer using wild duck but if that is not available to you store bought duck will work fine. The recipe calls for one duck, that is one large store bought duck. I used wild wood ducks when I made this gumbo originally and due to their small size I ended up using three. Either way, duck makes a really good gumbo. Cooking time includes 90 minutes for the duck stock, 30minutes for the roux and 2 hours for the entire gumbo to cook.

Categories     Gumbo

Time 5h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 duck
1 onion
2 stalks celery
2 teaspoons salt
2 quarts water
1 cup flour
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1 cup chopped celery
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sherry wine or 1/2 cup cooking wine
2 quarts duck stock
duck meat, picked from the duck
1 lb andouille sausage
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
cayenne pepper (A little goes a long way)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon louisiana hot sauce

Steps:

  • DUCK STOCK: Quarter the onion, cut the celery stalks in half and place into a medium stock pot with the three ducks. Cover the ducks and vegetables with two quarts of water, add salt and bring to a low boil for approximately 90 minutes. After cooking, remove the ducks from the stock and put aside to cool. Strain the broth and set aside, this will be the stock for the gumbo. Discard the onion and celery; it was only there for flavor. After the ducks have cooled, pick all meat from the bones and set aside to be added to the gumbo later.
  • ROUX and TRINITY: Start the roux by pouring the oil in the bottom of the stock pot or Dutch oven you plan to make your gumbo in and set to medium heat. When the oil is hot enough that a pinch of flour causes it to sizzle like it is frying begin adding the flour to the oil while stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. The roux requires constant stirring while cooking to prevent it from burning and it may be necessary to reduce the heat during cooking several times to prevent the roux from burning. You will notice the roux slowly beginning to get darker as you stir it with your whisk. The correct shade for a gumbo roux will look like a dark melted chocolate. It could take 30-45 minutes for the roux to reach its desired shade, be sure to keep an eye on the heat during the cooking process so that the roux does not burn. Once the roux has reached its correct shade add the onions, celery and bell peppers (trinity) to the roux, add the garlic and set heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • GUMBO: Add the wine, strained duck stock, duck meat and sausage to the pot with the roux/trinity and set heat to medium. Add all seasonings and remaining ingredients to the pot and stir gently until the roux and stock blend together. When the pot begins to boil reduce heat to low and cook over low heat for 2 hours. The gumbo may look thin when all the ingredients are first added to the pot but it will cook down into a very nice consistency over the next two hours.
  • During the cooking process some oil from the roux and fat from the sausage will float to the top. You can use a big gravy spoon or something similar to skim it off the top. It makes for a better finished product.
  • Any gumbo is best served over white rice with a big piece of French bread and your favorite beer or wine.
  • Enjoy!

  • Add the vegetables gradually: Don't add all of the vegetables to the pot at once. Add them gradually, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Use a variety of meats and seafood: Gumbo is a great way to use up leftover meat and seafood. Feel free to add whatever you have on hand, such as chicken, sausage, shrimp, or crab.

  • Let the gumbo simmer: Gumbo is a dish that improves with time. Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to چند ساعت. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
