Sauteed Frog's Legs With Garlic And Shallots

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 24 pairs frog's legs (about 12 ounces)
• 1/4 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 4 shallots, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Recipe

• 1 if necessary, prepare the frog's legs by trimming the spines and tips of the feet; wash and dry them.
• 2 roll the legs in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
• 3 melt half of the butter in a large skillet over high heat (the frog legs will brown better if they are not crowded).
• 4 when the butter stops sputtering, add half of the legs and saute until browned, 1-2 minutes.
• 5 turn and brown on the other side; the butter should be quite brown to add flavor.
• 6 remove the legs to a warmed plate, wipe out the skillet and saute the remaining legs with butter in the same way.
• 7 remove the legs to the plate with the first batch.
• 8 return the pan to the heat, add in the shallots, garlic, and parsley; saute, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• 9 replace the frog legs and toss together over medium heat for another 30 seconds until very hot.
• 10 the shallots should be slightly crunchy, in contrast to the tender frog legs.
