Photo: Sauteed Frog Legs with Tomato Garlic Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Cut the frog legs in half. Season both the legs and flour with Essence. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Dredge the frog legs in the seasoned flour and shake to remove any excess flour. Add the frog legs to the hot pan and saute until golden, turning as needed, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. 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.

I found this to be a very nice change from the usual fried froglegs down here in North Carolina. Most everything is fried in the south! LOL! Anyway, as far as being extinct, I have thousands of these frogs just on my pond alone. They are far from extinct here! I didn't eat the ones hear, I bought far raised ones and ate those.

Frogs like this are farmed raised. Not only did you spell extinct wrong but something going extinct would be endangered, which frogs are not.

Who is the crazy from Savannah, these are farm raised for the most part and far from disappearing from the planet. I hate people that don't eat meat! I love frog legs, sweet and yummy!
