1	lb	Hot sausage (Italian) cut into chunks
3	tb	Oil
2/3	c	Bell peppers chopped
2		Cloves garlic crushed
3/4	c	Parsley

2	c	Raw white rice

In deep frying pan (cast iron preferably) saute the bell pepper, garlic parsley and celery. While this is cooking, add tomatoes & their liquid, the chicken stock &, green onion to a pot that can cook on the stove and in the oven (corning ware ) Stir in spices, sauteed vegetables raw rice, sausage and alligator fillet pieces. Cook on medium-high heat until liquid is absorbed (stir occasionally to make sure rice doesn't burn on bottom) and then bake covered in the oven for 25 minutes. Good luck, I done this three times and the usual comment is its superb but where is the alligator...

I have tried this recipe for marinated alliator fillet and found no complaints.

I can't vouch for the flavor of this sucker. I haven't made it, as I'd never touch Alligator voluntarily, myself...
