Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1.00 tablespoon olive oil
1.00 whole domestic duck - (4 1/2 to 5 l; bs), cut 8 pieces
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
1 cayenne pepper; to taste
2.00 cup chopped onions
1.00 cup chopped celery
1.00 pounds smoked pork sausage; sliced 1/2 thick

4.00 cup water
3.00 fresh thyme sprigs
½ cup chopped green onions
2.00 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions

* Note: See the "Duck Stock" recipe which is included in this collection.

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the duck pieces with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, sear the duck, fat side down for about 4 to 6 minutes. Turn over the duck and continue to sear for 4 minutes. Remove the duck from the pan and set aside. Add the onions and celery to the pan. Season the vegetables with salt and cayenne. Saute the vegetables until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and continue to saute for 4 minutes. Stir in the beans, bay leaves, and garlic. Add the duck stock, water and fresh thyme. Place the duck pieces back into the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and skim off any cloudy scum that has risen to the surface. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 3 hours, stirring occasionally or until the meat and beans are tender.

Reseason if necessary and stir in the green onions and parsley. This recipe yields 8 servings.
