Traditionally, hearty gumbo is a Louisiana Creole dish that combines the "holy trinity" of green pepper, celery and onion, plus rice and a meat like sausage. This gumbo from Cooking Sens uses French-inspired duck and German bratwurst instead of sausage, then incorporates a few extra shrimp for good measure.
