Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature, 1½ sticks
4 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
2 shallots, peeled, trimmed, and roughly chopped
3 cups flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, loosely packed, about 1 bunch
1 bunch chives, finely chopped, about ¾ cup
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
12 wild Burgundy snails, very large, available canned in gourmet stores or online
6 cherry tomatoes
Baguette, for serving

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.

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!

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.

ESCARGOT WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER



Escargot With Garlic-Parsley Butter image

Sadly, you're not going to be able to waltz down to the corner store and pick up escargots and shells. We ordered the Saveurs brand, along with the shells, from Amazon. This recipe is worth the wait.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Hors D'Oeuvre     Butter     White Wine     Garlic     Parsley     New Year's Eve

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) European-style butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg
12 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup finely chopped parsley
24 large empty escargots shells
24 extra-large canned escargots, preferably from Burgundy

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh escargot: Look for snails that are plump and have a firm shell. Avoid any snails that have cracked or damaged shells.
  • Purge the escargot: Place the snails in a colander and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes, then rinse them thoroughly with cold water. This will help to remove any dirt or impurities from the snails.
  • Cook the escargot: There are two main ways to cook escargot: boiling and baking. To boil the escargot, place them in a pot of boiling water and cook them for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender. To bake the escargot, place them in a baking dish and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Make the herb butter: Combine softened butter with chopped herbs, such as parsley, garlic, and shallots. You can also add other ingredients to the herb butter, such as grated cheese or lemon juice.
  • Serve the escargot: Place the cooked escargot in their shells and top them with the herb butter. Serve the escargot hot, with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Escargot is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your escargot is cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give escargot a try!
