/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper  
0 Large Frog Legs [3 Pounds]  
Salt  
Cayenne Pepper  
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the oil and 2 tablespoons  
of the flour to make a roux, stirring constantly until it is light to medium  
brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the onion, celery, green  
pepper and garlic; saute for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the tomato  
paste, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  
Add the tomatoes with the liquid, chicken broth, Tabasco sauce,  
Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45  
minutes.  
Meanwhile, dust the frog legs with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour,  
seasoned with a small amount of salt and cayenne pepper. Coat a large  
skillet with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of oil, add the frog  
legs, and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Add the  
legs to the sauce and simmer, covered, for an additional 15 minutes. Serve  
over steamed rice.
