Cicadas are back!

admin — Mon, 06 May 2013 15:47:07 +0000

Periodic cicadas emerge only once every 13 or 17 years, depending on the species. One group of 13-year cicadas and two 17-year broods are found in North Carolina.
As NC gears up for the periodic cicadas, here is a delicious recipe for you to utilize during the brooding!

Basic Cooked Insects
1 cup cleaned cicadas
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt & 2 dashes of pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
Place all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Enjoy!
