Joe saw this recipe on the internet and asked if I would make it for him. I do not much care for duck but I made it for him anyway. It turned out really good.
2 whole ducks 2 pounds smoked sausage 2 or 3 pints of raw oysters in their juices 3 stalks of celery 1 bell pepper 1 large onion 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup all purpose flour serve over rice
WOW!! You are an awesome cook. If I had your videos in my early years I might have been a decent cook. I always took any shortcuts I could (commercial mixes, processed food, etc.) because I didn't know how to cook & hated that chore. Now that my children are middle aged and I am alone, I do as little cooking as I can. You make it look so easy!!
I know I've been asking for a gumbo video but I'm with you Melissa.. I don't care for duck. Love to see a traditional Louisiana gumbo. Great video though 👌
My 1st Duck recipe - my experience with Duck? My Mother & I chased Lucy & Gurtie to the end of the yard, they started flapping their wings, lifted off the ground, over the fence, over the barn, over the hill to the New River they did go. The next Duck I pulled out of the oven on Christmas at a clients home. It was so greasy, I put the foil back over it. The Gumbo looked great. I may make Oyster Stew. The best part of this video was when Joe leaned forward to taste the Gumbo & the gray & white kitten was standing up in the cage trying to reach across at ?. So cute. I did love your video, & the step by step way you did things. I know there will be several who'll love this recipe. With no disrespect, I'm not a fan of Duck. Enjoy the rest of your evening. 🎄Merry Christmas Melissa!🎄
I really enjoy making and eating Gumbo, but getting the Roo just right can take awhile. Here's a trick to making it go a little faster. Put the flour in the cast iron before the oil. Keep the flour moving around so it doesn't burn. Using low heat will cause the flour to brown and not burn. When you add the oil the Roo will get dark immediately because the flour is no longer white. Browning the flour first also brings out a nutty flavor. Really good stuff. Thanks for another great recipe Melissa. Merry Christmas!
I'm going to try this just happen to have a duck cleaned and seasoned and in the freezer. I was going to cook it for Christmas and changed my mind. Wow God always knows what to tell me he said save it. All I have to do now is get some oysters .
Hey Melissa! I have never eat duck before, but that sure looked good. I love gumbo! I worked with a lady that was from Louisiana once, and for our Christmas party at work, she made either gumbo or jumbalaya and oh my goodness it was the best thing I ever eat. I love real cajun food, not the stuff you buy in a store or from a restaurant. Also, I want to wish you and Joe, and all your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
interesting take on gumbo. I don't like cooked oysters (christmas oyster stew flashbacks) but I like the use of a duck...I will be make this at some point this winter but will stick with shrimp. I will just substitute the duck for my usual chicken thighs
Thanks for another delicious looking recipe -- is there any chance you could do your own recipe for a gumbo with chicken/sausage/shrimp? Like you I am not a huge fan of duck, but your Louisiana recipes always look so good and I bet your gumbo is amazing.
@@astheroostercrows6435 thank you! and I meant to tell you -- your Shrimp, Crab, and Corn Bisque has become part of our family Christmas Eve dinner -- my family totally loves it!
That is a combination I never would have thought about but looks great. Got some ducks in the freezer and If I can find some oysters this will be on my to do list. Merry Christmas to you and Joe.
That looks good but I love seafood gumbo.My friend in New Orleans makes the best she even puts hard boiled eggs in hers .She said that was the way her mom did it to make it special.Sooo good.
Lived in Louisiana 53 years and boiled eggs in gumbo is something I have NEVER seen. I had never even heard of it until recently. Seafood gumbo is my fav too though
Hi Melissa,I know your gumbo will be delicious!Like you I just don’t care for duck.I do make oyster stew every Christmas Eve.Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you Joe & family.🎄🎄🎄
Melissa, I'm not a big fan of duck, or oysters, but this looked fantastic. Everything you make has a classy look to it. Thanks for sharing. You and Joe have a Merry Christmas. God bless. xxoo
@@astheroostercrows6435 ask Santa... but truth is, I've used dollar store paper scissors on chicken. Remember, you are only cutting through those thin rib bones and a little bit of meat and skin. It's easier if the scissors have serrations near the blade (keeps the meat from sliding so much). But it's easy enough to hack your way through with paper scissors. ✂️.
