Bon Temp, Ya'll!

I think that I have just about all of that in either the pantry or freezer. Just bought some local andouille yesterday to with the Tasso I bought last week. Had been planning Red Beans & Rice,  but this Gumbo has gotten me to thinking???

I have everything but the duck legs, and for the okra I would fry it and have it like a crouton instead of adding to gumbo! Have to check tomorrow with my lady at the farmer's market to see about a few duck legs. Or make some chicken leg confit instead-

Call me a traditionalist, but I don't mix duck and seafood in my gumbo. I like my duck gumbo roux very dark, almost black, my seafood gumbos with a lighter roux.

The good thing about gumbo tho, you can make it however you please!!

Made this today. Sub'ed out Tasso for the ham hock. No okra (lazy, didn't want to go to the store just for that - like the crouton idea, though!) Since my duck leg was already confit, added more duck fat to the roux and also to saute the veggies. Used my own house cajun spice blend, with some extra thyme and the bay leaf. Hatch chiles in the trinity. Local tasso and andouille. Gulf jumbo shrimp and crawfish tails from the seafood truck from Galveston that visits most months. DAMN - this one's a keeper!!!
