Tell me about how to make a sauce piquante.

Use venison or chicken. Anything you cook with gator...would taste better if you'd used something else.

All the gator I have ever eaten was either grilled, broiled, or fried. Not just tail meat. It has always been good to me. Never stewed it down though.

Never made a gator sauce piquant but I've eaten it & thought it was pretty good. My favorite sauce piquant is hen and smoked sausage. Cut up the hen and season it well. Brown the hen And sausage-the browner the better on the hen. Add your veggies and cook them down. I add a can of drained rotel and let that brown with the veggies. I then add about a tablespoon of tomato sauce and brown that with the hen, sausage, & veggies. Once you have a nice rusty brown coating on everything, add chicken stock/water and let "honeymoon" for a while-hen is literally one tough bird. Serve over medium grain rice with some macque choux and an old fashioned potato salad. One of my absolute favorite meals!

Mother f ing this

Interested in this too.

Never used turtle, but I've never had a bad turtle dish .

I posted the recipe many moons ago, but since I didn't have the 325,000 post min required to have any knowledge, I guess it got over looked.

OP, consider adding a handful of diced, stuffed olives to the dish 30 minutes before serving. Pay homage to the Spanish influence and add to the color and taste. Also, if your recipes doesn't have some fresh peppers in it, like jalapeño , add some. Really helps with depth of flavor. Herbs are your friend and read a Prudhomme recipe or two.

Rabbit aint half bad either.
