Lescargot Bourguignon Snails Recipes

ESCARGOT A LA BOURGUIGNONNE

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.

L'ESCARGOT BOURGUIGNON (SNAILS):

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Rinse and drain the snails and set aside.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, except the dried parsley flakes, and mix well.
• Place the shells on oven proof snail serving plates that usually hold 6 shells per plate. Make sure that the shell openings are facing directly up.
• Place a small dab of butter mixture into each shell.
• Stuff a snail into each shell, slightly pushing it half way into the cavity of the shell.
• Place about 3/4 of a teaspoon of butter mixture on top of each snail.
• Sprinkle the top of each snail with the dried parsley flakes.
• Place the plates and snails into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and serve hot with plenty of crusty French bread for sopping up the leftover sauce.
