gumbo

Every Superbowl we have plan a great “football-tailgating” dish to dine on during half time. This has been a tradition for at least seven years and we had some fun foods like ribs on the grill, wings, chili, brats and sauerkraut to this years Gumbo. We just can’t find really good gumbo here in NE. My husband who has spend time in New Orleans on business trips misses having gumbo so this year it was gumbo! Terrible to say this but I don’t have a recipe that I would trust posting – I will have to work on that. I started with a basic recipe but by the end of the dish it didn’t resemble what I had started with. The gumbo was absolutely amazing with the right balance of spice and heat and we threw in shrimp, crayfish, chicken and andouille. It was served over a little white rice and if you ever make gumbo as good as it is the day you make the next day will be even better. If I can work through my notes and recipe I will post – but here is the picture at least.
