Frog Legs à la Provençale

Frog Legs à la Provençale is a delightful French dish that highlights tender frog legs marinated in fragrant herbs and garlic, then grilled to perfection. This kosher BBQ delicacy encapsulates the essence of Provençal cuisine with its robust flavors and simplicity.

Ingredients

• Frog legs - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon - 1, juiced and zested
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Add the frog legs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
3. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the frog legs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
5. Place the frog legs on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade occasionally, until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
