Cuisse de grenouille de grand mere (Grandmother’s frog legs)

Ask your local fishmonger to special order frog legs if not readily available.

12 fresh frog legs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Lemon wedges, for serving

1

Season the frog legs with salt and pepper. Dip in flour, shaking to remove excess.

Using a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, cooking to a light, golden brown color. Add the frog legs and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn frog legs, add the garlic and parsley, cooking until the meat almost separates from the bone, about 3 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
