Ingredients
Dipping sauce
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 2 pounds alligator meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups oil, or as needed, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Place alligator meat in a medium bowl. Pour in vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into a resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Squeeze off excess liquid from a handful of alligator meat and add to the resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove meat to a plate, shaking off excess cornmeal mixture. Repeat with remaining meat, one handful at a time.
Step 4
Heat 1 inch oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, lower meat carefully into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 5
Make sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and horseradish in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 6
Serve fried meat hot with sauce.
