Name: Duck Gumbo #2
Ingredients: 1 1/2 c Flour; 1 3/4 c Cooking oil; 1 1/2 c Chopped onion; 1 c Chopped celery; 1/2 c Chopped green pepper; 1 ga On water; 4 lg Wild ducks; 2 1/2 tb Salt; 1 ts Black pepper; 1/2 ts Red pepper; Hot sauce to taste; 1 lb Smoked sausage; sliced; Gumbo file powder; Green onion tops; chopped

In Colossians 1:18 we are commanded to give Jesus Christ “first place in everything.” First place “among” everything is bad theology. In other words, Jesus Christ is above everything else that I love. Women, it’s great to love your husband more than other men, but Jesus must not be embraced from that perspective. Right theology is first place “in” everything. Jesus is above all things and is honored in the heart of everything we do. In other words, we do all things through Him and for Him (ride a bike, talk to a friend, serve at work, watch a movie, listen to music, play golf, sweep the floor, etc.). With Christ, there is absolutely no division between the sacred and the secular. If there is, we fall into the category of idolatry.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut ducks in serving pieces & brown in oil. Set aside. Mix flour & oil in
deep, heavy pot. Turn on heat. Cook until dark brown, stirring constantly
over medium heat. When roux is ready, remove pot from heat & add onion,
celery & pepper, stirring well. Add water, a little at a time, stirring
well. Water should be as near temperature of roux as possible so as not to
curdle the roux. When all the water has been added, return pot to the fire.
Add duck, salt, peppers & hot sauce. Simmer 3 hours. Add sausage last hour.
Season to taste again. Serve gumbo over cooked rice in large individual
serving bowls. Top with gumbo file powder & chopped green onion tops.
