Ingredients.

4 Ducks
1 bag crab boil
3 tablespoons olive oil to saute vegetables
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small bunch chopped parsley
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup olive oil for roux
1 pound smoked sausage cut into 1/2 inch slices
32 ounce can stewed tomatoes
10 ounce can diced tomatoes with chilies (Rotel)
1 Beer
5 cups duck broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons seasoned salt
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons thyme
2 cups cut okra


Put 1/2 cup olive oil in a skillet and get it very hot. Add the flour slowly while stirring constantly until the roux turns a medium dark brown (10-15 minutes). The roux will burn easily so watch it and stir constantly! Add the sauteed vegetables and the sausage to the roux and saute 3 more minutes. Transfer the vegetables and sausage to the 10 quart pot and add the stewed tomatoes, tomatoes and chilies, beer, 5 cups of duck broth, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, bay leaves, and thyme and cook 30 minutes. Separate the duck meat from the bones, and add the meat and the okra to the gumbo and cook 1 hour. If the gumbo loses too much moisture, add more beer. Serve over white rice.
