     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.
