Instructions

  • Generously season the frog legs with Slap Ya Mama - Original Blend Cajun Seasoning
  • Dredge the frog legs with 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • In batches, fry the frog legs with 1 cup of vegetable oil in a dutch oven or cast iron pot (medium to medium-high heat). Cook completely through until golden brown. (A few minutes on each side) Set aside when complete.
  • Once the frying is complete, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour into the oil to make a roux to the color of peanut butter.
  • Add in the tbsp of tomato paste and incorporate well.
  • Add in the vegetables, except the tomatoes, add the garlic. Cook until wilted.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the 6 cups of stock. It will be loose and will thicken when you return the battered frog legs.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce and Slap Ya Mama - Cajun Hot Sauce
  • Mix the stock with the roux really well and bring the sauce piquante to a simmer.
  • Return the frog legs back and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Taste and re-season if needed
  • (Optional) remove the meat from the bones after cooling. Serve over rice or grits, add extra fried frog legs on top for lagniappe
  • For the jambalaya grits, follow the instructions, but use stock instead of water.
  • With 2 tablespoons of butter, cook the chopped vegetables.
  • After your grits are finished cooking, mix in the vegetables, and finish with cream to your desired texture.
