In honor of a big win - Dawgs over the Gators - We decided to show the one thing that Gators are good for - dinner. The gator cooks rather quickly; we just pan fried it after breading it lightly with a seasoning mix. After draining, we put it on a sandwich with chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. Mmmm...
Seasoning mixture:
tsp garlic powder
tsp celery salt
2 T blackened seasoning
salt and pepper
Dredge the gator chunks in the mixture, pan fry for about 3 minutes and drain on paper towels. The chipotle mayo is a mixture of equal parts mayo and sour cream blended with adobo sauce and chipotle peppers (to taste, it can get spicy!) Admittedly, the sandwich ends up looking like a big hot sloppy mess (insert Gator joke here), but the flavor is excellent.

Great "theme" dinner with Dawgs eating Gators! Literally and figuratively. I think I saw those guys on the TV yesterday during the game! GOOOOOO DAWGS!
