How to Make Wild Duck And Andouille Sauce Piquant

  1. Season 2 wild duck breasts (about 1 lb total) with salt and pepper. Brown in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely seared. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, make a roux by whisking together 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 green onions (chopped), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley to the roux. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add 1 cup water, 4 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add 8 ounces andouille sausage (sliced) and the browned duck breasts to the sauce.
  7. Stir well to combine, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the duck is very tender. Stir occasionally.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper to your liking.
  9. Serve the Wild Duck and Andouille Sauce Piquant over cooked spaghetti or rice.
