This is a Gumbo I made for the last Super Bowl Party. It is now a yearly request. If you can't find all the ingredients, try substituting what you can find. Chicken thighs for duck breasts, clams for oysters etc. Read more Most important is mastering the roux. Like Chile, Gumbo recipes are quite flexible. Make it a day ahead to give all the flavors a chance to mingle. Hope you enjoy if you try it…… ;-)~ See less

How to make it
- (1). Season the duck pieces with Salt & Pepper. Put a small amount of oil into a large Dutch oven. Wipe the oil all around the bottom and sides of pan with a paper towel. Heat over medium heat until hot. Start the duck pieces skin side down and sear until golden brown, (About 8 – 10 minutes per side) Remove from the pan and set aside reserving excess duck fat. Let cool slightly and remove the meat from the bones and set aside.
- (2). MAKE THE ROUX
- Add the Canola Oil to the remaining duck fat in the Dutch oven. Stir in the flour. Stir slowly and constantly on medium heat until the roux is the color of chocolate, 20 to 45 minutes. Season with Salt and Black Pepper
- (3). Add the Onions, Bell Peppers, Celery, chopped Andouille, Garlic, Thyme, Bay Leaves, Creole seasoning and Cayenne Pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are very soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- **************
- (4). Whisk the beer into the roux mixture until both are well combined. Whisk in the Stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered at a slow simmer, for 30 minutes. Slice the duck breasts into 1/2" slices. Add the duck slices back to the pot. Simmer slowly an additional 45 minutes - 1 hour stirring occasionally.
- (5). Lightly dust the Crawfish, Shrimp and Andouille Sausage slices with Creole seasoning. Add to the pot. Cook 10 minutes. Add Oysters and Lump Crab. Cook 2 minutes. Taste for seasonings and adjust. Stir in Green Onions and Parsley reserving some for garnish.
- Remove from heat, let sit 5 minutes. Skim as much fat as you can off the surface.
- Serve in individual bowls over cooked rice. Garnish with a little chopped Green Onion and Parsley and a sprinkle of Gumbo File’ Powder. Pass the file’ powder at the table for those who want more.
