If you’ve got some small game at hand, this guide for preparing barbecued beaver and barbecued frog legs will be quite useful. Let’s quickly get down to simple ways to turn this little game into an irresistible meal.
Here we go.
Making Barbecued Beaver
Beavers are very agile animals, and some of us think it is best to marinate them for two days before getting them inside the crock out. But this is not necessary anymore.
With this recipe, it will take an average of 3 hours (prep excluded) for your beaver to cook perfectly. However, your beaver has to be young & plump; else you may have to manage after all.
Ingredients:
- 1 beaver
- 1 peeled & halved apple
- 2 sliced onions
- 1/2 cup of vinegar
- 3/2 cup of ketchup
- 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
- Tabasco sauce (as desired)
- 1 teaspoon of dry mustard
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- salt & pepper
Steps To Follow:
- Trim your beaver of all its fat & boil with the halved apple over medium heat for 1 hour.
- Warm the oven to a temperature of 350° Fahrenheit.
- Mix the ketchup, salt, pepper, pepper, dry mustard, Worcester sauce, granulated sugar & Tabasco sauce in a bowl.
- Drain & dry your meat before placing it into a roasting pan alongside the two sliced onions.
- Dip your meat in the mixed sauce, pour what’s left of the sauce on the meat & place in the oven. Leave for 2 – 2.5 hours.
- Baste the meat with a mixing spoon every 15 – 20 minutes to check its state.
- Add some water as required to ensure that the gravy has the same texture and consistency as the sauce.
- Let the meat cool off for about 10 minutes before it is carved. This waiting period will ensure that it retains all juices. Coat your meat in gravy & serve as pleased.
Barbecued Frogs Legs
You don’t necessarily have to fry your frog legs every time. Apart from the fact that variety is the spice of life, frog legs are much sweeter when barbecued. You can even use your sauce of choice, whether bought in store or homemade.
Ingredients:
- Frogs legs, preferably 2–4 per head.
- Olive oil
- 1½ cups of barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons of thoroughly minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- salt & pepper
- Tabasco sauce (as desired)
Instructions To Follow
- Dip your frog legs in olive oil until properly coated, but this should not be excessively done.
- Apply seasonings generously with salt & pepper as desired (sea salt/Us Kosher & freshly ground black pepper are the finest flavors).
- Pour your Tabasco sauce; the more, the tastier. Avoid making the marinade extremely hot, though. You can taste the flavor with a simple dip.
- Wrap in foil & place in the fridge for 1 – 2 hours.
- Before detaching the legs from the fridge, have the barbecue sauce mixed with the lemon juice & garlic gloves and already heated.
- Rub oil generously on your white, hot barbecue and out your frog legs in. Baste using the sauce while cooking is ongoing until the meat is well cooked. This usually takes 4 – 5 minutes.
