I was surprised to find the alligator filets were tenderized. No mention on the package but a welcomed feature. They fried up nice and tender and we'll be purchasing them again.

Great value considering there is little to no waste. To my surprise, the alligator filets were tenderized. No mention of this on the website or bag. The meat was very tender.

3 Lbs. Alligator Meat
3-6 Oz. Cans Tomato Paste
4 Tsps. Salt
1 Cup Minced Bell Pepper
3/4 Cup Chopped Parsley
2 Cups Minced Onions
½ Cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 Lb. Mushrooms, Stems & Pieces
3 Cans (2 Lbs, 3 Oz. Each) Tomatoes
4 Tsps. Oregano
3 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Tbsps. Sweet Basil
½ Lb. Sliced Bacon, Diced
1½ Cups Water
1/4 Tsp. Tabasco

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 3 to 4 hours

Total time: 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes

Servings: 8–10

Directions

Render the Bacon: In a large (6-quart) Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, fry the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until it is crisp and has rendered its fat. Remove the bacon, crumble it once cool, and set it aside. Leave approximately 3 tablespoons of the rendered bacon grease in the pot.
Brown the Alligator:
- If using fresh Alligator: Ensure the fresh alligator cubes are dry. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Add the cubes to the hot bacon grease in the pot. Sauté over medium-high heat until they are well-browned on all sides. Do not overcook; the goal is only to introduce color and flavor. Remove the browned alligator and set it aside with the crumbled bacon.
- If using Smoked Alligator: Omit this browning stage; smoked meat is already cured and flavorful.
Sauté the Trinity: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the remaining bacon grease in the pot. Sauté for 8–10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and drained mushrooms, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant.
Build the Sauce: Stir in the crushed whole tomatoes (and their juice), tomato paste, and 1 quart of water or stock. Carefully integrate the Worcestershire sauce, crumbled bacon, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and Tabasco.
Simmer and Reduce: Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the sauce does not scorch on the bottom.
Add Alligator and Finish: After the initial 2-hour simmer, add the reserved alligator meat (and any juices that have collected) to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer on low for an additional 1 to 2 hours, or until the alligator meat is completely fork-tender and the sauce has thickened to a rich, dark Creole red. (The sauce yield is approximately 5 quarts.)
Serve: Season the sauce to taste with additional salt and Tabasco if needed. Serve immediately over hot boiled spaghetti and finish with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese.
