 cook while stirring until roux is medium brown. Add onions, celery, carrots
 and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add meat and all remaining
 ingredients except eggs, green onions and sherry. Stir to blend and simmer
 until meat is very tender, about 1-1/2 hours, add a little water if needed
 during cooking. Taste for salt and pepper and, if desired, Tabasco. Add eggs
 and cook for 5 more minutes. Garnish with green onions and pass the sherry.
