The Texas BBQ Forum

This was my very first time to prepare this Creole/Cajun Recipe and I believe it's the tastiest one that I've ever cooked. I'll let the pics speak for themselves but the taste is a "must experience" IMHO

The only things I did differently was I used only Rotels and no Mater Sauce, made my own Roux, no wine, no "worst-ever sauce", no sugar and substituded chicken broth for water. I also only simmered the final mix for 2 hours and even then, the alligator meat melted in your mouth and in the pot as well.

I only used 1lb also and adjusted the recipe accordingly




I have not deserted Suckle Busters but this spice Company is owned by a former Customer of Mine.
By Customers, I mean that, when I was doing Farrier Work, I took care of their Horses Hooves.

That looks delicious!. Never tasted alligator but would love to.

You would love it and even better that you could use it in some of your Awesome Chicken Recipes.
It tastes like Chicken Should Taste

Looks great! Will have to try it with chicken though. No gater in these parts.

Sounds like a good idea - - - - I would think that Dark Meat might fare better thru the long simmer time.

Off the chains Brother

Oh my goodness Parts. No apology needed as that cook definitely warranted such a detailed post. That looks absolutely fantastic. Love me some gator. Usually of the fried variety but I’d be all over that!

Thanks Sooner, I bought 3 of those pkgs that said "Filet" but you can see that they were just small pieces (nuggets) instead. I would love to find a larger tail piece and do it like a Stuffed tenderloin with the "Cajun Trinity" for stuffing and wrapped in bacon but I may not be able to afford it. These were $15 per pkg. but no complaints after tasting.

Great looking pictures and good explanation on the method!!
someday, O someday I'm gonna have time to cook like that, kind like I did the first time I retired...

Hey S.T. whatcha been up to

I'll have to check some of specialty shops downtown to see if it's available.

I started hiring my yard mowed and I don't miss it at all.

Had me two more full bowls of the Sauce Piquante just now. Think I may skip a day or two now.

When we first bought this place I used to try and do it myself. But I am just gone to much to be able to keep up with it. Haven't owned a mower here in many years. But we still keep up with it at the lake house.

the wife and I have been discussing that one, sure is getting to be a lot to handle on top of the rest of the goings on...
