Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mince (ground meat of your choice)
- 2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 pound frog legs, cleaned
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for the cookies)
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Brown the Mince: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mince to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Frog Legs: Carefully add the cleaned frog legs to the skillet. Pour in the broth, ensuring everything is well combined. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the frog legs to cook through.
- Prepare the Garlic Cookies: While the frog and mince are simmering, preheat your oven according to your cookie dough instructions. In a bowl, mix the cookie dough with garlic powder for an unexpected twist.
- Bake the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the garlic cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to package instructions or until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Finish the Dish: Once the frog legs are tender and the broth is flavorful, stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve: Plate the frog and mince mixture in bowls and serve with the warm garlic cookies on the side. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired for richness.
