COMMENT:
Although alligator is served only as an appetizer in sausage form at Lafitte’s Landing, I see it served in
many ways around the state. The dish seems to have found renewed popularity over the past few years.
Here is an old camp recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp cumin
In a heavy dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat. Add alligator and sauté twenty minutes to render
juices. Add onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic and jalapenos. Sauté until vegetables are wilted,
approximately three to five minutes. Add pinto beans, tomato sauce and chicken stock, bring to a low
boil and reduce to simmer. Add chili powder and cumin, stir well into mixture and allow to cook one
hour, stirring occasionally. Once alligator is tender, season to taste using salt and black pepper. This dish
is always served at hunting camp dinners over spaghetti.

Preparation Instructions:
This alligator tail steak marinade recipe is for you exotic meat lovers. To get this bayou style recipe
started, first you will want to take out a medium size mixing bowl. For step one, add into the bowl the
soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, dried bay leaves,
freshly squeezed lime juice, coarse ground black pepper, table salt, and white granulated sugar. For step
two, please take out a metal whisk or wooden spoon, and then vigorously stir the marinade together.
Once the marinade is even, and all the sugar and salt has fully dissolved, place a lid on the bowl. For step
three you will want to let the marinade sit in the refrigerator for one hour or more, as this will help
unlock many of the flavors. Your marinade is now ready to use. Let your alligator tail steak soak in the
sauce for about four to six hours, as this will really get the meat flavorful.

Indian Marinade
Make a marinade by whisking together 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1 tsp. each cumin, garam masala, turmeric
and chili powder. Add in 2 tsp. each fresh grated ginger and fresh coriander (also called cilantro), and one
clove of minced garlic. Mix in 2 tsp. each lime juice and canola oil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions
Five cloves
Salt
Cilantro
One lime
Corn tortillas
Small pot
Tongs
Skillet
1 Remove the stems and seeds from the pasilla and guajillo chilies, and then slice the peppers
into thin vertical pieces. Add the vinegar, garlic, cloves and cumin to the chilies, and mash these
ingredients into a pulp. Avoid touching this mixture with your bare hands, since it will immediately burn
your skin.
2 Boil the mixture in a small pot until you make a soft paste. Stir constantly until you achieve a
smooth, albeit slightly chunky consistency. Allow the contents to cool before you apply the mixture to
the meat.
3 Dip each strip of pork in the marinade, using a pair of tongs to avoid contact with your skin.
You will need to marinate the strips of pork for at least 24 hours in advance. Remember to stack the pork
in the mixing bowl so that the marinade can coat each individual strip of meat.
4 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and place the bowl in your
refrigerator for at least 6 hours (overnight is better).
5 Removed the marinated meat from the refrigerator and allow it to return to room
temperature, which will take around an hour.
6 Chop up the onions and cilantro together and place in a small bowl when you make tacos al
pastor.
7 Fry the meat in a skillet until it is slightly crispy around the edges and the pork is fully cooked
throughout. Add the pineapple slices to the meat while it cooks.
8 Chop the meat into small pieces once you have removed it from the skillet. Serve with the
small corn tortillas, with the onion and cilantro mix on top. Slice up the limes and squeeze the juice all
over the tacos al pastor just before serving.
