Smoked Duck Gumbo

One of the reasons I love smoking duck, making gumbo the next day.
Went the simple route, butter, salt and pepper. Into the drum with hickory.





saved the duck fat and drippin's for the gumbo..



Had a little bit of the breast for supper that night...



gathered some of the gumbo ingredients...



went with spicy conecuh this time...



gave the sausage a quick browning. I like the extra flavor of the caramelized sausage..



removed the skin from the smoked duck, shredded the meat and made stock with the carcass..





started my roux with the smoked duck fat and flour...







added my onions, celery, peppers, garlic, cooked til almost tender...



strained my smoked duck stock...



added the stock to the pot, also some okra, the smoked conecuh, smoked duck meat and seasonings...



let it simmer ....







fried the smoked duck skin til crisp, sort of like smoked duck skin chicharones.





That's pretty much it, smoked duck and conecuh sausage gumbo with crispy, smoked duck skin chicharones...










I think I could live on this stuff. The crispy fried smoked duck skin chicharones are addicting.

Sorry for so many pics but thanks for looking!
