Best 4 Escargot Garlic Butter Recipes

ESCARGOT WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Using an electric mixer on medium, beat butter in a medium bowl until smooth. With motor off, add wine, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then beat on medium until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add garlic, shallot, and parsley; mix just until incorporated. Transfer butter to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off end (or 1 corner if using plastic bag).
• Place shells in a single layer in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish and pipe about 2 tsp. garlic-parsley butter into each. Tuck a snail inside each shell, then pipe in more garlic-parsley butter to fill shell and mound over top. Bake until snails are sizzling and garlic in butter no longer tastes raw, 10-15 minutes.
• Do Ahead:
• Shells can be filled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS

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.

ESCARGOTS WITH PERSILLADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Prepare the Persillade Butter: In the bowl of a food processor, add butter, garlic, shallots, parsley, chives, almond flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Blend until bright green and uniformly combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl and push down the parsley as needed. Makes 1 cup.
• To cool the butter: Place Persillade Butter on a square of plastic wrap. Roll into a log about the same diameter as the divots of the escargot dish; then wrap tightly, removing as much air as possible. Place in the refrigerator. (Persillade Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
• Escargots, part 1: Remove snails from the can and drain; discard the liquid. Escargot can be prepared with or without shells. With shells: Use a small spoon to push a snail into each shell; do not push too deeply, or the snails will be hard to retrieve. Without shells: Place one snail in each divot of an escargot dish.
• Escargots, part 2: Use an offset spatula to pack each snail shell with about 1 tablespoon of the Persillade Butter. Neatly level off the butter at the opening and place in the escargot dish, opening side up. (As the escargots bake, some of the butter will melt out of the shells and into the dish.)Without shells: It's best to use well-chilled Persillade Butter for escargots without shells. Unwrap the log of butter and slice about 1 tablespoon of butter per snail. Cover each snail with a slice of butter. Use a paring knife to trim away the top and bottom of each cherry tomato; then cut in half. Top each snail with a slice of cherry tomato. Place both escargot dishes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up). Roast in the oven until butter is foaming, 8-10 minutes.
• Remove escargots from oven. Serve hot with escargot forks (optional) and baguette slices.

ESCARGOTS IN PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a food processor and add the remaining butter, parsley and cream. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl's sides. Mix in the salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the escargots and cook for about 5 minutes. Keep warm. Place the remaining butter mixture in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until it liquefies but is thick and creamy. Divide the escargots among 4 small dishes and pour the sauce over them. Serve.
