BLACK FOREST ESCARGOT SOUP



Black Forest Escargot Soup image

A German dinner party soup. Badische Schneckensuppe was the house specialty of the Zum Ritter in in Durbach. If you don't like escargot, use extra mushrooms instead. My dinner guests couldn't tell the difference between the minced escargot and the minced mushroom and there was not a drop of soup left over. I used extra Pernod because I did not have aniseed.

Easy Garlic Escargots image

These tender escargots in mushroom caps are smothered with wine sauce and cheese. Nothing big and fancy, but I liked how it turned out, so I thought I'd share. They're easy to make too!

Provided by CraZee A

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Vegetable     Mushrooms     Stuffed Mushroom Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (7 ounce) can escargots, drained
6 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
20 mushrooms, stems removed
⅓ cup white wine
⅓ cup cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. Fresh escargot is ideal, but frozen escargot can also be used.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season your soup well. Escargot has a mild flavor, so you need to add enough seasoning to bring out its flavor.
  • Cook the Escargot Properly: Escargot should be cooked until it is tender but not overcooked. Overcooked escargot will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine you use in the soup should be a good quality wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Serve Immediately: Creamy escargot soup is best served immediately after it is made. The soup will thicken as it sits, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat.

Conclusion:

Creamy escargot soup is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a truly memorable meal that your guests will love.
