Alligator recipes

I use the jowl meat, pass it thru a coarse grinder and make turtle soup ..... you'd never know the difference


I also cut the same jowl meat into bite size pieces and grill on skewers . I use my own marinade ... Sugar Cane molasses Mango habanero

Marinade recipe below is enough for 2 lbs. of meat. I suggest using 1/2 the mixture below as a marinade with meat in zip lok bags. The other 1/2 can be used to glaze the meat on the BBQ pit, or drizzle on top of meat once taken off pit

Mix all ingredients below in large pot and gently boil over medium - low heat for 10 minutes. Store in container , refrigerate for future use. Heating marinade on stove top to thicken for other dishes. Excellent marinade for chicken, pork, beef, or any other ideas in the kitchen or backyard grill.


Marinade ingredients :

1/2 cup Sugar Cane Molasses or Steen's Syrup

1/2 cup Mango juice or fresh Orange - Mango juice

1 ounce fresh squeezed Lime juice

2 ounces Apple Cider Vinegar

4 Tablespoons Creole Mustard

1 ounce Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing

1/2 cup Ketchup

3 small Garlic cloves, finely minced

1 Habanero chile, seeded and minced ( or 1 Jalapeno pepper finely minced )

1/2 teaspoon Orange zest

1 sprig fresh Rosemary finely chopped

1/8 teaspoon of Allspice

that skewer recipe looks awesome

But where's the fun in that?
