Granny's Frog Leg Stew

 

2 tablespoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds frog legs, skinned and rinsed in several changes of cold water
Salt and pepper
1 onion, coarsely chopped
11/2 carrot, coarsely chopped
11/2 rib celery, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned tomatoes, crushed

Pat the frog legs dry and season  with salt and pepper. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat until smoking. Add the frog legs and sear until dark golden brown on all sides. Remove the frog legs to a plate lined with paper towels.

In the same pan, place the onion, carrot and celery and cook over high heat until the vegetables are browned and soft. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring for another 2 minutes. Add the white wine and stir with a  spoon to dislodge the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper and return the frog legs to the pan. Reduce to a simmer, cook for another 15 minutes, then remove from heat.
