Ingredients
- 8 pieces frog's legs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 pieces lemon wedge
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the frog's legs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the frog's legs in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 4
Once the butter has melted, add the frog's legs to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, along with minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 6
Return the cooked frog's legs to the skillet and gently toss them in the garlic butter mixture to coat.
Step 7
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the frog's legs and squeeze a lemon wedge for a bright, zesty flavor.
Step 8
Serve hot with extra lemon wedges on the side.
