New recipies

Working at the Assisted Living place has really helped me learn to cook. In fact, my dad had a good suggestion for one of the dishes to be served at our BBQ...


Soft Shell Cicadas

Ingredients:
1 cup Worcesterhire sauce
60 freshly emerged 17-year cicadas
4 eggs, beaten
3 cups flour
salt and pepper to season flour
1 cup corn oil or slightly salted butter

Directions:
Marinate cicadas, alive in a sealed container, in Worcestershire sauce for several hours. (This step may be skipped and you may go directly to the egg step instead.) Dip them, in beaten egg, roll them in the seasoned flour and then gently saute them until golden brown.

Yield:
4 main dish servings.

If you don't eat them this year, you won't be able to again until 2024. Tastes a little like crickets.
