   5      pounds        Alligator meat -- trim/cube
   1      cup           Olive oil
   3      cups          Flour -- All-purpose
   5      cups          Onion -- chopped
   2      cups          Green onion -- chopped
   1      cup           Bell pepper -- chopped
     1/2  cup           Celery -- chopped
   2      cups          Tomatoes -- fresh/chopped
   8      cups          Water -- cold
   2      tablespoons   Garlic -- finely chopped
   2      tablespoons   Worcestershire sauce
   1                    lemon -- Juice of
                        Salt to taste
                        Tabasco sauce to taste
   2      cups          White wine -- dry
   6      cups          Tomato sauce

Make a dark roux with olive oil and flour.  When roux is dark brown, add
onion, green onion, bell pepper, and celery; cover and cook until onions are
clear, stirring occasionally.  Add tomatoes and continue cooning for 10 min;
stir often.  Add water and stir to make a thick liquid.  Add garlic,
Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt, hot sauce, wine, and tomato sauce, making
sure to mix well.  Add alligator, and enough water to cover the ingredients
by 2 inches; stir to mix.  Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.  After it
comes to a boil, turn heat to low and cover, checking from time to time, and
stir to prevent sauce from sticking.  Continue cooking for 3 to 4 hrs.
until meat is tender.  Serve over cooked rice or spaghetti with Parmesan
cheese.  Freeze leftovers in serving size containers.

This recipe is for a party--no one would go to this much trouble if the
recipe only fed 4 peoples.
