Ingredients

  • vegetable stock
  • 12 snails
  • ¼ bunch parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 shallot
  • 50 g butter, at room temperature
  • 12 snail shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add snails and gently cook for 10–15 minutes, or until soft. Remove from stock and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, place parsley, garlic and shallot into a blender. Add a little water, and blend until a paste forms. Add butter and season with salt to taste.
  3. Place some of the garlic butter paste inside a snail shell. Add a snail, then add more butter to seal the snail inside the shell.
  4. Bake in oven for 5–10 minutes. Add more butter over the top to taste – the more the better! Bon appétit!
