eggs in the gumbo...

[RaginCagin]

It is alot easier to crack the eggs first instead of boiling and peeling them. The trick is to reduce the heat on the gumbo to where it is not boiling right before you are ready to eat, if it is boiling it will break the eggs apart. Crack eggs into pot of unboiling gumbo and let sit for 5 minutes and you will have a perfect boiled egg without the trouble of peeling them. And also its hard to beat some good baked sweet potatoes with gumbo. Sweet potatoes are very prevalent where I live in south central Lousiana so i guess that is why we grew up with this instead of tater salad.
