Remove the back legs before placing the crickets in the frying pan, having brought the oil up to the right temperature. mix the SAGE with raw onion and then chop finely. Add this to the crickets in the frying pan and stir for a couple of minutes.
Drain fat from frying pan and then tip the contents of the pan onto a plate with kitchen roll on. get a bread roll and butter it then add the cooked crickets onto the bread roll. Eat and enjoy.
