I think I'm gonna give this a go this weekend, but I will have to cut the recipe in half. Has anyone done this that can maybe offer a few pointers, or will it come out just as good if I just cut everything in half? I know some things can be funny that way. TIA

You know.... if you search this board for "Sauce" and "Treedawg", his sauce piquant does not show up.

Looks legit. Not how I make mine, but the recipe looks real good. Even spelled the name properly

quote:

TreeDawg's Sauce Piquante

10 lbs of meat cut stew size.
(Alligator, Venison or Turtle)
2 lbs Smoked Hot Sausage or Andoulle diced.
9 Yellow Onions chopped.
4 Bell Peppers chopped.
1 Bunch Celery chopped.
9 Cloves Garlic chopped.
2 Bunches Green Onion chopped.
1 box Fresh Mushrooms sliced.
2 lbs. Real Salted Butter.
4 Cans Rotel.
Four 6 oz. Cans Tomato Paste.
Two 6 oz. Cans Tomato Sauce.
4 Cups Burgundy.
1/2 Cup Lea & Perrins.
2 tsp. Sugar.
1 Cup Oil.
1 Cup Flour.
1 Gallon Water.
5 Gallon Black Iron Pot.
1 Black Iron Skillet.

1) Brown seasoned meat, in melted Butter, in Pot.

2) Brown Sausage in Skillet at same time.

3) Remove Meat and Saute Onions, Bell Pepper, Celery, Garlic & 3/4 of the Green Onions. Save 1/4 of Green Onion for Garnish.

4) Remove Sausage when browned. Add Oil to Pork Fat from Sausage. Add Flour and brown to make a dark Roux. Add 1/4 Cup of Lea & Perrins when you turn off heat and blend.

5) Add Tomato Sauce, Paste, Rotel and Sugar to Sauted Veggies. Cook until blended well then add Roux. Cook untill blended well again.

6) Add Burgundy, 1/4 Cup of Lea & Perrins and 1/2 Gallon of Water. Bring back to boil.

7) Add Meat and Sausage back to Pot. Add Water if needed, enough to cover meat good. Bring Back to boil, reduce heat and start spooning off excess grease. Stir often and deep to keep from sticking.

8) Season generously and cook slow for 3 hours. Continue to spoon off grease and stir. Add Water ans Sesoning as needed.

9) Add Mushrooms and cook 1 more hour. Garnish with Green Onions, serve over Rice and with French Bread.

The recipe is big but still great when reduced. Just don't hurry it.
This is the real deal!!!!!!!!!!

Are you implying that I should have searched before posing the question? Because your statement is actually true; nothing comes up.

Edited just for you. If it's not how you make yours, do you care to share your recipe?

Pretty similar to how I do it, but I don't have nearly that much different shite in mine.

No. I am stating that I searched and I can't find it. Lighten up.

How do you add the roux if it was already in there?

I'm pretty sure he's doing the roux in a skillet and then transferring to the pot.

I started to make it this weekend, but it looked too damn difficult...So I went with his beef chuck roast recipe instead...I tweeked it just a little (added bell peppers and jalapeno peppers) when stuffing the roast and it came out delicious...

Thanks Tree dawg!

Never heard of putting roux in sauce piquante. Down in South Louisiana, sauce piquante means a red/tomato-ish gravy, what's with the roux?

I've seen recipes both ways. There's not enough roux to overpower the tomato in the dish, if the volumes are right.

Never question Tree Dawg! He is the expert on this board in my opinion. Tried several of his recipes and have never been disappointed.
