Champignons De Paris Stuffed With Escargot Garlic Parsley And Almonds Food

FRICASSEE OF CHAMPIGNON DE PARIS IN WONTONS

Steps:

• Soften the dried mushrooms in hot water for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat saucepan, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, onion, garlic, and Thai pepper. Season with the sea salt, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Drain the mushrooms, squeeze dry, and mince finely. Strain the liquid into the pan with the vegetables. Add the minced mushrooms, sliced white mushrooms, and chopped parsley to the pan. Stir well and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes over low heat, or until soft and almost dry.
• To make the raviolis, use 2 wonton wrappers for each ravioli. Place a spoonful of mushroom mixture in the center of 1 wrapper. Brush the edges with a small amount of water and place a second wonton on top, pinching edges closed. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Add ravioli to boiling, salted water and cook for about 8 minutes.
• To make the sauce, quarter the tomatoes and saute in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the ravioli and plate on a large dish. Top with the tomato sauce and dress with the remaining olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice.

CHAMPIGNONS DE PARIS STUFFED WITH ESCARGOT, GARLIC, PARSLEY, AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, almonds, ham, and chopped white mushrooms together. Add salt and pepper, and mix until all ingredients are combined together.
• Using a cookie sheet, place the mushroom caps on sheet, add a snail in the center of each mushroom, and cover with the butter mixture. Place the baking sheet in oven and bake for 20 minutes.

ESCARGOT WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Saute 1 chopped shallot with 1 tablespoon butter until the shallots are soft. Add the sliced mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a separate pan, saute the remaining chopped shallot in 1 tablespoon butter. Add the snails and the garlic to the pan and toss. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac. Ignite the Cognac with a lighter or by tilting the pan carefully towards the open flame and letting it catch. Flambe the Cognac until it is almost reduced. Add the Cabernet, bay leaf, and thyme, and reduce the liquid in the pan by two-thirds. Pour the veal stock into the pan and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
• After the snail mixture has simmered for 5 minutes, add in the mushrooms and remove from the heat. Whisk in the remaining butter and stir in the truffle oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and top with chives. Serve the snails divided between warm shallow bowls.

ESCARGOTS WITH PERSILLADE BUTTER

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 the sides of the bowl and push down the parsley as needed. Makes 1 cup.
• To cool the butter: 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.)
• Escargots, part 1: Remove snails from the can and drain; discard the liquid. Escargot can be prepared with or without shells. With shells: Use a small spoon to push a snail into each shell; do not push too deeply, or the snails will be hard to retrieve. Without shells: Place one snail in each divot of an escargot dish.
• Escargots, part 2: Use an offset spatula to pack each snail shell with about 1 tablespoon of the Persillade Butter. Neatly level off the butter at the opening and place in the escargot dish, opening side up. (As the escargots bake, some of the butter will melt out of the shells and into the dish.)Without shells: It's best to use well-chilled Persillade Butter for escargots without shells. Unwrap the log of butter and slice about 1 tablespoon of butter per snail. Cover each snail with a slice of butter. Use a paring knife to trim away the top and bottom of each cherry tomato; then cut in half. Top each snail with a slice of cherry tomato. Place both escargot dishes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up). Roast in the oven until butter is foaming, 8-10 minutes.
• Remove escargots from oven. Serve hot with escargot forks (optional) and baguette slices.
