Was that an Echo Picnic? Did I sleep through one?
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Alligator Sauce Piquante - Picnic
Categories: Loo, Exotics, Reptile
Yield: 2 Servings
1 lb Alligator cutlets
2 c Buttermilk or soured milk
1/2 c Cornmeal
1/2 ts Thyme
Salt & Pepper
Fat for frying
10 oz Can Milder Ro*Tel Chopped
- Tomatoes
1 Bay leaf; opt
1/2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Marjoram or oregano
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1/2 ts Cajun seasoning (Emeril's
- or other) *
1 cl Garlic mashed
Tabasco sauce, tt (UDD
- would use Trappey's)
* Tony Chachere's (green can) works well - UDD
Soak alligator cutlets in milk for at least 4 hr. Drain
and dredge in cornmeal that has been seasoned with thyme,
salt, and pepper.
Heat fat and fry cutlets until done and crisp on both
sides.
Meanwhile, bring Ro-Tel tomatoes and bay leaf to a boil.
Add remaining ingredients. Reduce by about 1/3, season
with Tabasco to taste.
Drain cutlets on paper towels and then put on a platter.
Cover with sauce and serve.
It was dark when I cooked this, so the identities and
amounts of herbs are open to some question.
