Hello ladies and gents this si the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Florida Alligator Sandwich with Slaw
INGREDIENTS
- 4 (4-ounce) Florida alligator steaks, tenderized into thin fillets
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- ½ head Florida cabbage, sliced thin or shaved
- 1 Florida carrot, peeled and grated
- 1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup rice wine
- 1 small red onion, sliced thin
- 4 large slices country bread
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning (your favorite)
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a medium-sized bowl combine cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, all-purpose seasoning and parsley. Stir ingredients to combine, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover slaw and refrigerate.
In a small bowl combine the thin sliced red onion and vinegar. Stir to combine and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cover red onion mixture and refrigerate.
Add oil to deep fryer and preheat to 350-375 degrees. Beat eggs and ¼ cup water to create egg mixture. Set up breading station in three separate bowls as follows: egg mixture, flour, and panko. Season each with salt and pepper. Add 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose seasoning to flour and panko.
Depending on the size of your fryer, divide nuggets into batches. Coat first batch in egg mixture and let drain slightly. Next, dip wet nuggets into seasoned flour mixture; gently shake to remove any excess flour. Return nuggets to the egg mixture and coat; drain excess. Lastly, toss wet, coated nuggets in panko to evenly coat; gently shake to remove excess panko. Fry alligator nuggets for 2 to 3 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Drain onto pan lined with paper towels.
To assemble, place an even amount of the crispy fried alligator on each slice of bread. Add an even amount of the slaw to the top of each crispy alligator fillet. Drain the red onion mixture and place an even amount on top of each open-faced sandwich. Serve warm.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
