My husband also hunts duck, but we didn't love this. It was a little bit salty for us. I also know now (after talking to a friend) that the roux is supposed to be very dark...I stopped at dark khaki, she says it should have been mahogany. I might try with a different sausage next time to lower the sodium.

I live in south eastern Louisiana where we have the best food in the world! I've always loved to cook ever since I was a little girl and my grandmothers, Nannie and Maw Maw T, were very influential to me. I enjoy making dishes from scratch and using old fashioned recipes - it's always worth the effort. My husband & I love to barbecue several times a week since we love to be outdoors. I love to entertain friends and family on weekends.
