The Project: Duck and okra gumbo

Each Friday we choose a recipe from the L.A. Times' Test Kitchen archives that's perfect for weekend cooking -- when you have a little more time on your hands.

This gumbo will take about three hours to make. But before you say "Who's got the time?" know that much of that is hands-off cooking.

So you can get some chores done around the house and you'll be rewarded with a rich, hearty meal when you're done.

Here's your recipe for duck and okra gumbo:

If you try it, we'd like to hear about it. And if you take a picture of the finished dish, please upload it here so we can all enjoy it.
