Frog Leg Etouffee with rice!

[indaswamp]

Had 4 doz. frog legs in the freezer that needed to be cooked so pulled them out and cooked up an etouffee for the boys at the forehouse.

Frog legs rinsed and split into individual legs..

veggies and bay leaves braising down in some butter...

Add in the flour to make the roux...

Add in the chicken stock little at a time...

I doubled this recipe and substituted 4 doz. frog legs for the crawfish and chicken stock for the crawfish stock.

Ya know, I was a sought after cook in the firehouse. Got annoying after awhile, but frog leg étouffée never entered into the equation. Nor did they get multiple pounds of venison sausage. Nicely done.

Thanks moi... Had about a gallon of gravy left over so I put that in the freezer. Gonna add about 2# of crawfish tails to it in the near future and turn it into crawfish etouffee for the second round.

BTW, I also took a gallon bag of left over fried fish fillets and made salpicon chip dip with it for an appetizer. None left...it went fast.

Thanks Richie.
Frog legs are a staple down here in da swamp. About time to start catching 'em. On a good night, we can catch 4~500. No limit on frogs here in louisiana, just a size limit and two month restriction during peak breeding season of April and May.
