  Sauce Piquant recipe. You can use chicken, rabbit, turtle, alligator etc.  If you only got one rabbit throw some chicken or
   deer meat in with the rabbit. This recipe will feed a bunch of folks. Very good recipe. If you don't like something in the list of ingredients just leave it out.

                                  COMEAUX FAMILY SAUCE PIQUANT RECIPE

                                                       INGREDIENTS

5   cans of 8 oz. tomato sauce
2   cans of Rotel diced tomatoes with chili pepers
1   6 oz. jar of sliced mushrooms
1   8 oz. jar of sliced olives
2/3  cup of cooking oil
2/3  cup of flour

6   large onions , chopped

2   bell peppers, chopped
1   stick of real butter
6   lbs. boneless chicken, thighs,legs, breast etc. which ever you like
3   lbs. of fresh sausage.  deer, pork, just as long as it's fresh sausage and not smoked

Use a 10 quart or larger black iron pot or a big Magnalite oval roaster. You can cook it outside on a gas burner or inside on a stove. Just make sure you have a big enough pot.

1.  cut chicken or what ever meat into pieces
2.  season meat good with what ever seasoning you like
3.  brown meat in a little cooking oil
4.  remove meat and set aside for now.
5.  put a little water in pot and cook fresh sausage just enough so you can slice it up and set aside for now.
6.  wash and dry pot good.
7.  open up all cans and have ready as needed.
8.  make a roux with flour and oil.(add oil to pot, heat oil on med. heat, add flour slowly, a little at a time and DON'T quit stirring until
                                                roux is a couple shades darker than peanut butter.)
9.  when the roux is done, pour in 2 cans of Rotel and the stick of butter and stir until butter is melted.
10.  add the 5 cans of tomato sauce
11.  add half cup of Swanson's chicken stock.
12.  add the meat and sausage you put aside earlier
13.  add chopped onions, celery, and bell pepper
14.  add mushrooms and olives
15.  cook on low flame for 5 hours with lid on pot.
16.  add Swanson's liquid chicken stock as needed
17.  stir pot every 5 or 10 minutes

       Don't add to much liquid chicken stock at one time. You can always add liquid stock but if you add to much it will be too watery.
      Cook on low enough flame so that it's not boiling but bubbling nicely.

18.  cook enough white rice for the amount of folks you're feeding.
