In honor of Friday, I thought we'd post a favorite recipe. Nothing like Fried Frog Leg Friday!!
16 frog legs skinned and cleaned
1/2 cup flour
3 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup of PEANUT OIL! ONLY PEANUT OIL! GOT IT?
1/4 cup corn meal
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Soul Food Seasoning (Yes it's real. Look near the spiced and such at your grocery store.)
Rinse your frog legs well and then pat them dry. Sprinkle the Soul Food Seasoning to taste all over the legs. In a separate glass bowl mix the eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, onion powder, cayenne, and black pepper. You can add white pepper if you like.
Take the Soul'ed up frog legs and lightly coat them with flour. Then coat them with the egg and milk mix. Then SLOWLY drag the frog legs through the flour/cornmeal pepper mixture until they are well coated.
Now simply fry them up!!
I like to serve mine with purple onions that have been slowed cooked in the oven wrapped in tin foil and slathered in butter and soul food seasoning. Bake the onions on about 375 for around 45 minutes. The onion should be very tender when served.
As we say round here, "Dang that's fine frog!"
