      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.
