    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.
