ALLIGATOR SCALLOPINI WITH CAPER MUSHROOM SAUCE
Can use center cut pork if gator is not available. Alligator is a lean meat that is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein. It is available in a variety of cuts, including tail meat fillets, ribs, nuggets, and wings. Tail meat, the choicest cut, is a mild-flavored white meat that has a texture similar to veal. Ribs, nuggets, and wings are darker meat with a stronger taste and a texture similar to pork shoulder. Alligator meat is versatile and can be used in just about any recipe as a substitute for chicken, pork, veal, or fish. Alligator meat is usually purchased frozen, but it is also available fresh. Thaw frozen meat in the refrigerator and use promptly. Use a meat mallet to tenderize fillets and flatten the meat to your desired thickness. Florida alligator meat can be ground or finely chopped to make sausage, patties, or taco filling. Alligator's mild flavor is easily enhanced with seasonings, sauces, and marinades.
