Snails

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Snails

    If using live snails, soak them in water with salt for a few hours to purge them. Rinse thoroughly and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Baking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Fill the Snail Shells

    Place the cleaned snails in their shells and fill each shell with the garlic herb butter mixture.

  3. 5

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Arrange the filled snail shells in a baking dish, making sure they are secure and standing upright.

  4. 6

    Bake the Snails

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the snails are heated through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Escargot

    Remove the baking dish from the oven and serve the escargot hot, with a side of fresh bread for dipping into the garlic herb butter.
