Stir for 2 to 3 minutes to make a light brown roux. Add the onions, peppers, celery, salt and cayenne. Saute the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes or until wilted. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and Tabasco. When the mixture comes up to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Lay the frog legs in the sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, basting with the sauce. Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the parsley. Spoon the mixture over steamed rice.
Garnish with the green onions and peppers.
