ðšâð³ äœãæ¹
- 1
Prepare the frog legs: Wash them thoroughly and rub with lime juice. Rinse with cold water. Pat dry.
- 2
Season the frog legs with minced garlic, salt, pepper, vinegar, and thyme. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- 3
Dredge the marinated frog legs in flour, shaking off any excess.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the floured frog legs until golden brown on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 5
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and seasoning pepper (if using). Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 7
Add the water and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- 8
Return the fried frog legs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the frog legs are cooked through and tender. The sauce should thicken slightly.
- 9
Serve hot, traditionally with provisions (boiled root vegetables like yams, dasheen, and green bananas), rice and peas, or white rice.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã
- âMountain chicken is an endangered species in Dominica, so it's important to use farm-raised frog legs or a sustainable alternative like chicken thighs.
- âMarinating is crucial for tenderizing and flavoring the meat.
- âDo not overcook the frog legs after frying, as they will continue to cook in the sauce.
