Frog Leg Recipe

This truly turned out great! See my prior post for the whole story behind my love of frog legs.

Garlic Sauteed Frog Legs

1 lb frog legs (thawed if previously frozen)
1/3 c flour
1/2 lemon, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c dry white wine
1/2 c vegetable broth
2 tbsp butter, divided
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
chopped fresh parsley
salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour with about 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper. Rinse frog legs with cold water and pat dry. Dredge in seasoned flour, shake off excess, and set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter with olive oil. Add minced garlic. Once hot, add frog legs. Cook about 3 minutes or so, until browned. Flip and brown the other side. Be sure to not burn the garlic.

Remove frog legs from the skillet and place in a baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Squeeze 1/4 lemon over the top of them. Bake for 20 minutes, turning over half way through cooking time.

While the legs are baking, deglaze the skillet with white wine and vegetable broth and cook over medium heat. Add the juice from the remaining 1/4 lemon. Once the sauce has reduced by about half, remove from heat and add remaining 1 tbsp butter and some chopped parsley.

Place the frog legs on a serving dish and drizzle the sauce over the top. Enjoy!
