1
Prepare the Escargot
In a medium saucepan, combine the escargot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In the same saucepan, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add Wine and Snails
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the prepared escargot, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
4
Finish with Butter and Herbs
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the remaining butter and chopped parsley until melted and combined.
5
Serve
Transfer the escargot and sauce to a serving dish and serve hot with slices of house-made bread for dipping.
