Vrana Lake frogs (Vranske žabe)

(Vrana Lake frogs)

Vranske žabe is a traditional dish originating from the area of Vransko jezero (Vrana Lake). The dish is usually made with a combination of frogs, parsley, potatoes, butter, white wine, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, sunflower oil, onions, salt, and pepper.


The onions are diced and sautéed in both types of oil in an earthenware pot. The frogs and garlic are added to the pot, seasoned with salt and pepper, covered with wine, and simmered for about half an hour. The new potatoes are boiled, added to the pot with butter, and the dish is cooked for a bit longer until everything is tender.


Vranske žabe are sprinkled with chopped parsley and served in the earthenware pot.
