CAJUN FRIED ALLIGATOR

2 pounds alligator tail (1" pieces)

Salt

Alegro Sauce Pepper, black and red

1/2 jar mustard

1 and 1/2 cups water

Tabasco sauce

Flour

Garlic powder

Peanut oil

 

Marinate alligator in Alegro Sauce 4 to 5 hours. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix mustard, garlic powder, and Tabasco sauce. Dip alligator into mustard batter, roll in flour, fry in peanut oil at 375-400 degrees until golden brown.

 

 

ALLIGATOR SAUSAGE

 

2 pounds ground alligator

2 pounds ground pork

1/2 pound ground pork fat

1/4 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup diced garlic

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup chopped sage

1/4 cup chopped basil

Salt and black pepper to taste

Pepper Sauce to taste

15 feet casing for stuffing

 

In large mixing bowl, combine all of the above ingredients with the exception of the casing. Add one cup of ice water to the mixture and using both hands, blend the ingredients well. Continue to mix in a rolling motion until the fat content of the pork coats the surface of the mixture. This is imperative if the sausage is to be moist and juicy since alligator by nature is quite dry. Once the ingredients are well blended, you may wish to check the seasonings by sauteing a small patty in a frying pan. Correct seasonings if necessary. Stuff the sausage mixture in the hog casing and tie off in six inch links. To cook, poach the sausage in lightly salted water for three to five minutes. Grill over pecan wood or bake in a 375 degree F oven until golden brown, approximately ten to twelve minutes.

Hey, you been hacking into my computer files? Grand Chenier is just about 30 miles due south of me...

Thanks for a few new ones. In fact, I'm going close to Grand Chenier today for the 'Fur and Wildlife Festival' just for kicks. Nutria skinning contests, alligator hides, folks that enjoy life...'Coldest Festival of the Year' is how it's marketed. Duck and Goose calling contests...it's a hoot.
