VEGETARIAN ESCARGOTS WITH PERSILLADE BUTTER



Vegetarian Escargots with Persillade Butter image

Daniel Boulud says, "Escargot is 50% butter." If you want a way to enjoy that foamy, nutty, herbal flavor without the snails, try using mushrooms. When cooked, they have a meaty, springy texture similar to escargots. Sizzle them in Persillade Butter with juicy tomato slices for a tasty, unique appetizer.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature, 1½ sticks
4 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
2 shallots, peeled, trimmed, and roughly chopped
3 cups flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, loosely packed
1 bunch chives, finely chopped, about ¾ cup
1/4 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground white pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 medium button mushrooms
4 medium cherry tomatoes
Persillade Butter
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 down the sides of the bowl and push down the parsley as needed. Makes 1 cup.
  • Cool the butter: If you plan to use it immediately, transfer Persillade Butter to a bowl, place in the refrigerator, and chill for 15 minutes to allow the butter to set. If storing for later use, 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.) While the butter is chilling, prepare the mushrooms and tomatoes.
  • Vegetarian Escargots: Use a paper towel or clean dish cloth to wipe any dirt from the mushrooms. Cut off and discard the stems, then slice each mushroom in half. Place one mushroom half upright in each divot of the escargot baking dish. Slice each tomato in half, and place one in each divot along with the mushrooms. Nestle the remaining mushroom and tomato halves in the center of the dish.
  • Place escargot dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place a heaping teaspoon of Persillade Butter on top of each mushroom-tomato combo. Bake until butter is foamy and vegetables are cooked, 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Serve hot with baguette slices.

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.

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound escargot, in shell
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Serving suggestions: toasted piece of baguette or fresh tomato-basil sauce

Steps:

  • Rinse the escargot under warm water, pat shells dry with a paper towel, then set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients well with a small spoon. Lightly season butter with salt and pepper, until desired taste is achieved.
  • When butter is at desired flavor, begin to scoop a small amount of herb butter in each shell of escargot. If there is extra butter left over after each shell has been filled, go back and continue the process, adding extra butter, until all the butter has been used.
  • Put the stuffed shells into the fridge and allow to sit for about 20 minutes, giving the butter enough time to solidify in shells. While the shells are in the fridge, set the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • When the butter is solid in the shells, remove from fridge and transfer shells into an oven-safe pan. If possible, avoid placing shells on a sheet tray, as we want the snails to cook in the butter as much as possible. Cook snails for 15 minutes, max.
  • Serve snails, in shells, on top of toasted pieces of baguette, or in a fresh tomato-based sauce.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS



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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield Four first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 7-ounce cans shelled escargots, drained

Tips:

  • Choose the right snails: Use large, meaty snails such as Burgundy snails or escargots de Bourgogne. Smaller snails will not yield enough meat to be worth the effort.
  • Purge the snails properly: This step is essential to remove any impurities or grit from the snails' digestive system. Place the snails in a colander in a sink and sprinkle them with coarse salt. Let them sit for at least 2 hours, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
  • Cook the snails until tender: The snails should be cooked until they are tender but not tough. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes in boiling water.
  • Make sure the persillade butter is flavorful: The persillade butter is what really makes this dish special. Use high-quality butter and plenty of fresh parsley, garlic, and shallots.
  • Serve the snails hot: Escargots are best served hot, straight out of the oven. They can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

Conclusion:

Escargots with persillade butter is a classic French dish that is both delicious and elegant. It is a perfect dish for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. With a little care and attention, you can easily make this dish at home.
