Escargot With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

ESCARGOT MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the herb butter and set aside or make ahead and refrigerate a day ahead. Soften at room temperature before using.
• 2. Drain the escargots from the can and rinse well. Place the escargots and the remaining escargot ingredients in the top of a double boiler and simmer (very, very gently), covered, for 90 minutes. Cool. Drain. Discard the stock and other solids, saving only the escargots.
• 3. Clean the mushrooms and remove stems. Pat dry with a paper towel. Arrange in a shallow gratin dish which is well buttered.
• 4. Spoon a bit of the herb butter in the center of each mushroom. Place 1 escargot in each mushroom. Add more butter on top of the escargot. Sprig some cheese on top of each stuffed mushroom. Sprinkle some additional chopped parsley atop. Add some cranks of freshly ground pepper. Note: you will have some herb butter left over. Use it for some garlic toasts. Additional note: you may assemble this dish 4-6 hours ahead. Cover with wax paper and foil and keep refrigerated. Remove from fridge 1 hour before baking uncovered.
• 5. Bake the gratin in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes. Serve hot with bread.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS

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.

• Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and browned in spots.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley and grate fresh nutmeg over top.
