I made this tonight and am less than impressed. However, I did mess it up which more than likely affected the results. I cut the recipe by 1/5 and still added the 2" water. This madde it running and weaken the flavor. The gator was the most tenderest I have ever prepared. This was the last of my Gator meat, if I obtain some more I will try it again and edit this review.
