This week we had a first, frog legs. I was nervous about trying them, but this was a way to try new things. To my surprise, they were pretty good, and I recommend this recipe to you!

Steamed Crab Legs and Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

1 lb crab in shell (whole or legs)

½ dark beer

2 c water

1 lemon

½ c rice vinegar

¼ c old bay seasoning

2 corn on the cobs

Directions:

            In the bottom of the steamer place water, beer, vinegar and the old bay seasoning. Shuck the corn. Slice half of the lemon into wedges, and reserve for serving. Slice the other half of the lemon into circle slices. Place crab legs into steamer. Place the lemon circles on top, and then add the corn. Place steamer on for fifteen minutes and enjoy.

Frog Legs

Ingredients:

2 sets of frog legs

3 roma tomatoes

¼ c basil

¾ c white wine

½ c flour

1 c milk

3 T olive oil

2 T butter

salt and pepper

Directions:

            Place the milk into a medium sized bowl. Place flour on a flour, mix with some salt and pepper. Place frog legs into milk, this allows the flour to stick. Remove from milk, and place on the flour plate. Cover each size well with flour.

            Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat up the olive oil and butter. When hot and bubbling, add the frog legs. Allow the legs to brown on one side before flipping. You will see the meat getting tender, and removing itself from the bone. Allow other side to brown and remove from heat.

            Leave the oil mixture in pan, and add the white wine. Cut up the tomatoes and basil, and add to the wine mixture as well. Allow the tomatoes to stew. Serve either on top of frog legs, or on the side. Enjoy!
