Special dressing today: The Dance of the Hours. (please turn player on)
Yes, I must be a bit insane... who else would think about putting a ballerina costume to some frog legs? I can't help it, when I see frog legs the Dance of the hours comes to my mind and I imagine them dancing in my plate!
Have you ever tried Frog legs? It's quite a new thing for me... I tasted them for the first time only 3 years ago. Saw them in a restaurant and I just had to try them! The meat is so tender and tasty! And if you fry them, the different textures make them even more attractive.The place where I go to spend my summer holidays it's surrounded by rice fields: a green sea in the summer... but if you step in a rice field you will feel your feet a bit humit down there :D. It's frog's land. This dish is very typical from this area but I made some minor changes to the original recipe so that I could meet Peter's ingredients proposal.
There's a shop in the village where I always go to buy the seafood and they also sell frozen frog legs. What a surprise I had when I saw that they are imported from Vietnam!!!! Again, here is an example of globalization. Amazing!
Anyway, no matter from where they are, if you follow these simple steps you will be able to enjoy an original and fantastic lunch/dinner! This is my entry for The Queen of the Leftovers: Jenn DiPiazza and her Royal Foodie Joust. There's still time to get in there and show your cuisine abilities to the world! Come and join us :D
Ingredients for 4 servings: 16 frog legs (if you feel that's not enough feel free to add some more), 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds, 1 glass of milk, half glass of beer, some salt, some ground black pepper, all purpose flour, 2 garlic cloves, olive oil and some springs of fresh parsley.
- The day before defroze the frog's legs and marinate them with: the milk, beer, fennel seeds and some salt to fit your taste. Leave them inside the fridge overnight. Next day you can either cook them for lunch or dinner. They will absorb better the marinate the longer they stay in there.
Prepare the green sauce with: a bunch of fresh parsley springs, the garlic cloves, salt and some olive oil to get the texture you want. Have all ingredients in a food processor and mix well.
Strain the frog legs and coat them in flour. Fry in hot olive oil and reserve on kitchen paper. Add some extra salt on them.
Prepare the dish with the dancing frog legs and the green sauce. Hope you enjoy it!
