Louisiana Sweet and Sour Alligator

- #479
Break out the alligator. Sweet and sour style, stirred up with saucy pineapple and bell peppers, this gator tail could almost be mistaken for take-out. If you don't have any gator handy, chunks of chicken or slices of steak could fill in nicely.

I had remembered seeing recipes for alligator on this site so when I saw my grocery store actually had frozen alligator meat I just had to try it! Honestly... it tasted like sweet and sour chicken! I hate to use a cliche but it did! It was really delicious, but I could have just used chicken and ended up with the same result. Good way to use aligator though if you have it I guess but I wouldn't go buy it just for this recipe.
