main
2 Pound Frog Legs
Creole Dipping Sauce
2 Tablespoon Olive oil
2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 Cup yellow onion, finely diced
2 Tablespoon garlic, minced
2 Tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 Cup Creole mustard, or coarse-grain mustard

Steps

  • 1

    Make the marinade. In a medium bowl, add the hot sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and corn starch, and whisk to combine.

  • 2

    Place the frog legs in a large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade into the bag with frog legs. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 12-24 hours.

  • 3

    Make the Creole Dipping Sauce. In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onion, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  • 4

    Add the cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cream reduces by half, about 10 minutes.
