| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Gently split the frogs' legs apart and wash them under cold running water. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, salt and 2 tablespoons of the paprika, and soak the frog's legs in the mixture for about 5 minutes. Combine the flour and the remaining paprika, and place on a sheet of wax paper.
|
2. In a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the oil (which should be about 2 inches deep) over high heat until a light haze forms above it. Dip the frogs' legs in the flour, shake loose any excess and fry them in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, turning them frequently with tongs.
|
2. Regulate the heat so the legs brown quickly without burning. When they are golden brown, arrange them on paper towels to drain. Serve hot with tartar sauce.
|
|
3. To make the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, dill and parsley. Taste for seasoning, and add as much salt and pepper as you think it needs.
