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 A LA BOURGUIGNONNE



Escargot a La Bourguignonne image

The simple and classic method for escargot. :) This is the way they are prepared at 13 Coins in Seattle.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     European

Time 22m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 shallots, minced well
2 garlic cloves, minced well, to taste (I prefer extra garlic)
2 tablespoons brandy
32 canned French snails
32 snail shells

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well.
  • Place a snail in each shell and fill the cavity with the seasoned butter. (If you do not have shells, you can use escargot baking dishes - this is actually how I prefer to make them. Most of such dishes hold 6 escargot apiece.).
  • Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes.
  • Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes - or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about. Also, small silver forks to easily eat them with are a good idea.
  • Make sure to have plenty of good bread alongside, to mop up the delicious butter sauce! :).
  • Also good with a bit of Parmesan sprinkled on top of each.

ESCARGOT



Escargot image

An easy way to prepare escargot that doesn't require shells. I recommend Roland brand snails. They are sold in a can which is typical for escargot.

Provided by skwiatk

Categories     European

Time 25m

Yield 12 pieces, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 large snails
1 -2 tablespoon garlic, depending on taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 soft crusted baguette

Steps:

  • Melt butter on low heat in sauté pan.
  • When butter is melted add parsley and garlic and let sit over low heat uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the butter garlic and herbs to all blend together.
  • Pat snails dry and add to butter.
  • Increase heat of butter and sauté for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Turn off heat, remove snails from butter and set to side.
  • Slice baguette at an angle so you have 12 slices of desired thickness. I recommend 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Place the bread one side down in the melted butter that was used to saute snails so that one side of each slice is buttered.
  • Place butter on baking sheet and place under broiler for 2-3 minutes or until very lightly toasted.
  • Place two snails on each slice of lightly toasted bread and out back under broiler for 2 more minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure the bread doesn't burn.
  • Remove from oven, place on serving platter and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh escargots. Fresh escargots have a milder flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned escargots.
  • Purge the escargots before cooking. Purging removes any dirt or grit from the escargots and helps to improve their flavor.
  • Cook the escargots in a flavorful broth. The broth will help to infuse the escargots with flavor and keep them moist.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the escargots. Common herbs and spices used to flavor escargots include garlic, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Don't overcook the escargots. Overcooked escargots will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the escargots immediately. Escargots are best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Escargots gratins are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make escargots gratins at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your escargots are perfectly cooked and flavorful.
