Grilled Gator Kabobs
Alligator is a lean meat that is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein. It is available in a variety of cuts. Nuggets or fillets cubed are perfect in the following recipe. Cook using a short cooking time with high heat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Florida orange juice concentrate
- 1/4 cup Florida orange juice
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 pound Florida alligator meat, cut into cubes
- 1-inch cubes assorted Florida vegetables or fruit, cubed
Preparation
For the marinade, combine orange concentrate, orange juice, soy sauce, sugar and spices in a medium glass bowl. Reserve half for basting.
Add alligator cubes; stir to coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for increased flavor.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Thread marinated alligator cubes onto skewers, alternating with vegetable or fruit cubes.
Heat the grill to high heat and grill kabobs for 6-8 minutes; turning once. Brush with extra marinade for the first 5 minutes. Discard any leftover marinade.
