Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded
Salt, to taste
1 pound large frog legs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced shallots

2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Add the shallots and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the parsley. Remove from the heat and serve.

Categories     Wild Game

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb frog's leg, cleaned
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil
3 teaspoons ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in water

Steps:

  • Marinate frog legs in dark soy sauce for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add in garlic and ginger. Saute just long enough to release the aroma.
  • Then add the marinated frog legs. Saute until golden brown.
  • Add in basil, chicken broth, oyster sauce, rice wine, light soy sauce and Splenda.
  • Stir well.
  • One sauce starts to boil, mix in the cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen frog legs: Fresh frog legs are best, but frozen frog legs can also be used. If using frozen frog legs, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Remove any excess fat or skin from the frog legs: This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
  • Season the frog legs with salt, pepper, and other desired spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the frog legs from sticking to the pan.
  • Add a little bit of oil or butter to the pan: This will help to prevent the frog legs from sticking to the pan and will also help to brown them.
  • Sauté the frog legs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through: Be careful not to overcook the frog legs, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the frog legs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for frog legs include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter sauce.
