French Repast

What fun it was this weekend to see that the locally owned grocer had a few unique items in the meat department – frog legs and andouille sausage. I had never cooked with either ingredients, so here is what I did with them.

Grilling the frog legs was fast and easy. I brushed the legs with olive oil, and placed them over very hot coals. The meat was done, juicy, and falling off the bone in ten minutes. For a sauce, I reduced a can of chicken stock by half, and slowly added one whisked egg to thicken the liquid, as well as sliced garlic and a bit of chili powder.

The side for this dish was fingerling potatoes and andouille sausage, both cut bite size, and pan fried in olive oil and dried oregano. My son became an instant lover of frog legs! My wife, well….not so much. Can’t win ’em all! Bon appetit.

    Love frog legs sautéed in butter, garlic and parsley! I may have to run to Martins and get some tomorrow!
