Turtle Sauce Piquant

• Vegetable Oil
  1 Large onion, chopped
  2-3 Stalks Celery (chopped)
  1 Large Bell pepper (chopped)
  Garlic (sliced)
  Green onions (Chopped)
  1 small can tomato sauce
  Seasonings to taste (salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper) and/or (Tony’s, or Seafood Magic)
  2-3 lbs Turtle Meat (can substitute with just about any kind of meat you want)
  Water
  Splash or Two of Vinegar to deglaze pot while browning (optional, can use water
  instead)

Add enough oil to cover bottom of pot and heat. Season meat to taste and add
to pot. Brown meat over medium to high heat until well browned. You will
need to add a little water and scrape the bottom of the pot a few times during
the browning process to keep from burning. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper
and celery to pot. Continue browning process until vegetables are soft. Add
can of tomato sauce and let tomato sauce fry down a little while stirring often
not to burn. Then add 1-2 cans of water (add more or less water depending on
desired thickness of gravy, remember gravy will thicken while simmering).
Scrape bottom of pot to remove all remnants of browning. Simmer on low
heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until meat is tender. Taste gravy to see
if more seasonings needed. Add green onions to dress. Serve with rice.
