Frog's Legs in Butter and Wine (Lombardy)

Ingredients

Frogs legs, skinned and cleaned- 2 pounds

Dry white wine- 1 1/4 cups

Butter- 6 tbsps

Flour- 1 tsp

Salt

Parsley, finely chopped- 2-3 sprigs

Juice of 1 small lemon

Marinate frog's legs in white wine

Melt the butter in a deep frying pan. Take the frog's legs from their marinade, put them aside and pour the wine into the pan. Mix this thoroughly with the butter, then add the legs. Cook over a moderate heat until the wine is reduced by half.

Mix the flour, a pinch of salt and the parsley with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir this into the pan and continue to cook over a moderate heat for another 15 minutes. Sprinkle the frogs legs with lemon juice just before serving.

Serves 6.
