ESCARGOT VOL-AU-VENT. GARLIC BUTTER SNAILS IN MINI VOL-AU-VENTS
Garlicky buttered snails served in little light vol-au-vent cases, what a treat for all snail lovers! Living in France gives me access to some wonderful escargots, as well as superb garlic and butter too. These are just brilliant when served as appetisers for New Year or any other festive gathering. The beauty of these over the classic snails served in a baker or in their shells, is that you can eat the WHOLE thing! EVERY single bit of that naughty but exceedingly nice garlic and herb butter, all in one amazing mouthful! If you are unable to get hold of mini vol-au-vents, I have posted an alternative way to make your own little puff pastry cases, using readymade pastry for ease of preparation! Allow 2 to 3 per person if these are being served with other nibbles and appetisers. (Prep time includes baking the cases if not using readymade vol-au-vent cases.)

Steps:
- Mince the garlic and salt together and crush with the blade of a knife to make a paste. Put the butter in a large bowl (or the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), add the garlic paste, and cream together.
- Add the parsley, chives, shallots, pepper, lemon juice, and Pernod or Pastis and mix well. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a spatula to make certain the ingredients are distributed throughout the butter.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to 12 hours. (Any extra herb butter is wonderful melted over meats or fish.).
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). With a small 1/4 inch round biscuit/cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds from the puff pastry and then run a knife around inside the pastry disc leaving a narrow rim - this will be your lid later!. Arrange the puff pastry rounds on the baking sheet. Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and well risen. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.Remove the inner pre-scored "lid" and hollow out the middle a little to make a hole for the snail and butter later!
- If using ready-made vol-au-vent cases, arrange them on a well greased baking tray and add the snails as below now.
- Place or gently push a snail in to each of the cooked vol-au-vent cases and top with garlic butter, the butter can be piped or spooned over the snails - if desired, transfer it to a pastry bag without a tip or with a large plain tip. Re-heat them in a pre-heated oven, 450°F (230°C), for about 2 to 5 minutes on a LOW shelf, and keep checking that the pastry is not browning too quickly - what you are looking for is BUBBLING melted butter and NOT burnt pastry!
- Remove them as soon as the butter has melted and serve straight away with a shot of Pastis and lots of paper napkins! (If you have any lids, top the buttered snails with a little pastry lid.).

- Shrimp Vol-au-Vent. I should probably start with this: there’s no need to make puff pastry from scratch for any of these recipes. Store-bought, frozen puff pastry will do just fine, and in most larger stores, you can even buy vols-au-vent pre-made.
- Mushroom and Sausage Vols-au-Vent. These might not look as appealing as the recipe above, but get a load of the ingredient list! Ground sausage, onions, diced cremini and portobello mushrooms, cream cheese, parmesan, and lots of herbs and spices.
- Brie and Cranberry Vol-au-Vent. If you love a sweet and savory profile as much as I do, these bite-sized vols-au-vent will make your taste buds go wild.
- Chicken and Mushroom Vol-au-Vent. If you’re in the mood for something earthy and creamy, you can’t beat chicken and mushrooms. This vol-au-vent is made extra special by a rich buttery roux, adding a level of luxury you won’t want to share.
- Turkey Vol au Vent Shells. Let’s take a moment to appreciate how stunning this vol-au-vent is. It’s incredible how a simple scattering of pomegranate arils can make a dish look breath-taking, don’t you think?
