Escargots Gratinés Food

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.

• Spoon escargots in garlic butter and let rest 2 hours on counter.

ESCARGOT

Steps:

• Melt butter on low heat in sauté pan.
• When butter is melted add parsley and garlic and let sit over low heat uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the butter garlic and herbs to all blend together.
• Pat snails dry and add to butter.
• Increase heat of butter and sauté for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Turn off heat, remove snails from butter and set to side.
• Slice baguette at an angle so you have 12 slices of desired thickness. I recommend 1/2 inch thickness.
• Place the bread one side down in the melted butter that was used to saute snails so that one side of each slice is buttered.
• Place butter on baking sheet and place under broiler for 2-3 minutes or until very lightly toasted.
• Place two snails on each slice of lightly toasted bread and out back under broiler for 2 more minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure the bread doesn't burn.
• Remove from oven, place on serving platter and enjoy!

BAKED ESCARGOT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Add snails, garlic, and parsley; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place 1 snail along with some sauce in each cup of an escargot pan. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

GRATIN D' ESCARGOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230C or 450°F.
• Finely mince the parsley, garlic and shallot.
• Mix the butter, parsley, garlic and shallot together with a spatula until well combined and smooth.
• Spread the butter compound evenly between individual ceramic or metal ramikins.
• Arrange the snails on top of the butter in a single layer. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake the snails until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Place the cheese over the top of the snails and continue baking until the cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately.

ESCARGOTS IN HERBED CREAM

Steps:

• Put the crème fraiche, finely chopped mushrooms and finely chopped small onion in a pot. Heat on high until it starts bubbling. Stir well, fairly often, and then turn heat down a little.
• Cook that about 10 minutes, when the onion should be soft, the mushrooms cooked, and the cream sauce reduced.
• In the meantime, open the can of escargots and rinse them in a sieve, and shake them to dry a little. You've also chopped the herbs.
• Now add the escargots, herbs, garlic, butter, salt and pepper to the pot.
• Stir through, and simmer for about 2 minutes until the escargots/snails are heated through.
• I like to serve this in individual ramekins, with a nice bread roll or French bread, or freshly made bread. And it can stand waiting in a warming oven.

ESCARGOT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Reduce the consomme and wine to 1 Cup over high heat cooked with the bay leaf and garlic.
• Put the shells in a colander and pour the warm water over them and drain well.
• Place shells in a shallow casserole dish large enough to hold all shells in one layer.
• Put a dab of snail butter in each shell.
• Simmer the snails briefly in the hot reduced consomme-wine mixture.
• Place snail in each shell and cover with remaining snail butter.
• Pour wine-consomme mixture in the bottom of dish holding the shells.
• Place in the oven and cook for a few minutes, just long enough to get the snails piping hot.
• Serve hot with bread for dipping.
