INGREDIENTS:

• 1-2 lb. finely ground alligator meat
• (or other, if not available)
• 1 box Italian bread crumbs
• 1 med. raw egg
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne
• Fresh mushrooms, cut in sm. pieces
• (optional)
• 1/2 tsp. minced onions
• 1/2 tsp. green onions
• 1/2 tsp. parsley
• 1/2 tsp. bell pepper

DIRECTIONS:

• Mix all ingredients with your hands while gradually adding bread
• crumbs. Roll into whatever size balls you want. Keep a glass of
• cold water on the side to dip your fingers in occasionally, which
• will help the meat mixture from sticking to your hands. Brown the
• meatballs slightly and drain on paper towels. Then add to red gravy
• (recipe above). Cook 2-3 hours. Serve over favorite pasta.
