In a large pot, heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Season the duck pieces with Rustic Rub. When the oil is hot, sear the duck pieces for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the duck from the oil and set aside. Combine the remaining oil and four in the pot. Stirring the mixture constantly for 12 to 15 minutes, making a medium-brown roux, the color of peanut butter. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and duck pieces.
