Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 frog's legs, skin removed
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 cup peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • Rinse the frog's legs and pat dry; set aside. In a large resealable bag, combine the saltine cracker crumbs, flour, cornmeal, onion, salt and pepper. Shake to mix. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
  • Heat the vegetable oil and peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.
  • Dip the frog's legs into the milk and egg, then dip into the cracker mixture until evenly coated. Carefully place them in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. If the legs start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Drain on paper towels before serving.

FROGS' LEGS

Provided by Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

14 ounces (400 grams) garlic
2 ounces (100 grams) flat leaf parsley
1 1/2 ounces (60 grams) unsalted butter
2 1/4 pounds (1 kilogram) fresh frogs legs
A bowl of plain flour mixed with salt and ground black pepper
2 1/8 cups (500 milliliters) goose fat

Steps:

  • Garlic puree: Place the garlic cloves in a saucepan of boiling water. Bring to a boil, drain and repeat 3 times. Once fairly soft, you will find they peel very easily. Place cloves in the blender and blend until thick, smooth, and glossy. Set aside.
  • Parsley sauce: Wash the parsley. Pick the leaves off, place in boiling water, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Run under cold water to stop further cooking. Place leaves in a blender and blend to a paste. Squeeze the puree through a sieve, place in a saucepan with a little water, enough to obtain the consistency of a coulis. Cook until it covers the back of a spoon smoothly and evenly. Set aside.
  • Frogs legs: Remove two muscles from the shin part of the leg. Roll the legs in the bowl of plain flour mixed with salt and ground black pepper. Fry gently in the goose fat and butter in a shallow saute pan. Cook the legs until crispy and slightly browned on the outside, about 3 to 5 minutes. Place on a kitchen towel to absorb the excess grease.
  • This dish is best served on a white plate, as it is so colorful. Place a layer of the parsley puree all over the plate. Create a small mound of garlic puree in the middle. Uniformly place the frogs' legs around the garlic in a circle. About 12 frogs' legs per person is recommended.

When I was growing up, my father exposed us to all types of food. One of my favorites was fried frog legs. My 14 year old niece, Dana visited me this weekend. I asked her if she had ever eaten frog logs before? Her reply was "yuck, auntie" I dont think I could eat those. Well needless to say, she tasted them and loved them....
