Serves:

Preparation Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
20 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 9 canned snails, rinsed and drained
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 40 ml white wine
  • 60 g butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon
  • 1 saucepan
  • 2 bowls
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 oven-proof dish escargot dish
  • 1 tray
  • 9 snail shells

Step 2: Preheat the grill

Begin by turning on the grill section of your oven.

Step 3: Prepare the snails

Place the saucepan over a medium heat. Add a little butter, the snails and the shallots and allow them to warm through, giving them a little stir. Add the wine and bring it to a boil. Boil for a few minutes to allow the majority of the liquid to evaporate. When there is still a little of the liquid left, remove the pan from the heat and transfer it into a bowl.

Step 4: Prepare the garlic butter

Add the butter into a separate bowl. Follow with the garlic, parsley, salt and breadcrumbs. Mix them together well.

Step 5: Prepare for the oven

Push the snails back into their shells with your hands. Spoon a teaspoon of the garlic butter into the opening of each shell. Spread it evenly by using the back of your spoon. Make sure that the shells are facing butter side up, in preparation for grilling. Place them onto a baking tray.

Step 6: Grill and serve

Put the tray under the grill. Grill only for a few minutes until they are sizzling hot. Then serve them immediately as an exotic appetiser.

    I pick snails from the country side, leave them in a cage for a month or so to ensure they have not eaten anythng toxic and to make sure they are clean from the inside. They are washed in sea water before cooking to get rid of their slime and any soil or dirt or whatever and are boiled with garlic and lemons

    What is the point of removing the snails from the shells to cook them? I enjoy snails regularly ... they are not considered a delicacy as such

    It's diffucult to find good quality snails and the good ones are very expensive.
