Ducks and geese. Pluck whole bird. Salt and pepper inside and out. Stuff with yellow onions 🧅. Cook in a roasting pan on high heat. Do not over cook.
Duck breasts. Butterfly and stuff with whatever you like. Wrap in thin bacon bbq or smoker.
Never had duck gumbo but would absolutely like to try it someday.
Here’s TR gumbo recipe...If you didn’t already see it. 🙄😝🦫
Gumbo
1. make roux. 1/2 cup oil or lard and 1/2 cup flour. Can do on stove top or in oven. Cook till chocolate brown. Not burned, just dark. Takes hours.
2.Mirepoix
Chop 1 green pepper, 1 yellow or red pepper, 6 ribs of Celery and two onions. Need several tbsp of garlic and I like to add a chopped and seeded Jalapeno or two to it.
3. 3/4# of andouille sausage cut into 1/4" rounds. Start sautéing those in a heavy duty Dutch oven. Put about 3/4# duck meat (breasts or legs). Cook all until browned. Remove meat.
Sautee Mirepoix, starting with onion and Celery, when onion is soft and translucent add peppers, garlic and Jalapeno. Sautee until soft. Move pan off heat.
When roux is done, add to Mirepoix and then add 4-5 cups of stock. You want it to thicken, so don't add too much.
Then add meat back, 1/2# of chopped okra, several tbsp of tomato paste and spices. Today, I used paprika, Thyme, marjoram some chopped fresh Parsley salt and black pepper.
Cook another 1-1.5 hours, until thickened. Turn off heat and add 3/4# of shrimp, cover and let residual heat cook shrimp for 8-10 minutes.
Serve over rice with hot sauce and fresh chopped Parsley.
You can use venison, or other seafood too.
