Escargots in Herbed Cream image

To some, this will be "one of Zurie's crazy recipes". but really, this was totally gorgeous, if you are a snail/escargot fan!! It has to be eaten with some kind of delicious bread roll or French bread. I apologise for giving amounts for 2 persons only, but the recipe is easily doubled (2 cans of escargots!). Do start this meal with a pretty salad containing cheese such as camembert. It's my own recipe. Note that the ingredients are ordinary.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -6 tablespoons creme fraiche (or sour cream)
5 -6 mushrooms, white, fat, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
7 ounces escargot (canned, undrained, 200g)
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chervil, finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped (or to taste, but use a lot)
1 tablespoon butter
good pinch flaked sea salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

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.
