Smoked Duck and Andouille Sausage Gumbo

I made a pot of smoked duck and andouille sausage gumbo today. It was pretty tasty. :)
I started by making a batch of andouille and smoking the sausage and duck together on my horizontal wood burner...

The andouille sausage recipe... http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2009/01/smoked-andouille-sausage.html








I made my roux by using equal part of shortening and flour.... stirring until it reached a light brown color. ( I like a lighter roux)

Sauteed my onions, garlic, green peppers and some celery til tender....then added 1 TBs of chopped parsley...

After deboning my duck, I made the duck stock by covering the bones with water.

Then added onions, celery, garlic, kosher salt, cayenne pepper and a bay leaf.

I let this simmer for 2 hours...

Then strained the stock....

I combined the stock, roux, onion/veggie mixture, smoked duck and smoked andouille in a large pot...

I adjusted the salt, pepper and cayenne...then added a bit of worcestershire sauce to taste.

I let this simmer for several hours......

Served the smoked duck and andouille gumbo over rice, topped with a few green onions...

The gumbo was very tasty, the andouille even had a smoke ring....
