Snails - Thanks CE Cash, but i need a recipe...
 

CE Cash sent me this real nice Xmas gift goodie basket, but the snails arent part of my daily diet. So how do you cook and eat these escargots? I need some recipes or at least some advice.
thanks :)

lol, out of all the things to send you, they sent escargot? Interesting, I've actually never tried them :glugglug

google!


everything is on google

Here's one. If you have 1/2 lb. of butter lying around. Basically you will just taste garlic but it's good if you like oysters and interesting textures or stuff like that.

Escargot In Mushroom Caps
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients
2 tbsp Minced onion
1/2 lb Butter,melted
1/4 ts Lemon juice
24 To 26 - blanched * fresh
-escargot,or drained,canned
-snails
2 tb Garlic powder


Saute minced onion in 1/4 cup butter.Add lemon juice.Place escargot in mushroom caps in individual dishes.Spoon onion and butter over escargot.Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder.Let stand for two hours. Pour mixture of remaining butter and garlic powder over escargot.Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.Serve with garlic toast.

To Blanch Escargot: Blanching is the first step in preparing escargot dishes. Fill a 3 quart pan half full of water (enough to cover the snails). When water boils,drop in the rinsed snails. Boil vigorously for 3 minutes (no more or the snails will get tough). Remove snails and rinse in cold water.Remove nails from shells with a toothpick. Place snails in bowl containing a mixture of half water and half vinegar for two hours. Snails are now ready to simmer in sauces.They may be cut into two or three pieces,if desired. Blanched snails,may be frozen.

Note: Do not save snail shells,which are fragile

cool, iwas going to put them in a grilled cheese sand.

Now i'm hungry.

These snails are going to be a lot of work, i will trade them for a canned ham.

dont you mean, SPAM?

fuck that. I'll trade the snails in for my short UNI!

great, you know how i like icq, but maybe a short number would help.

Am i the only person that got snails for xmas?
Does everyone else here eat them every day or what?
I'm out of touch with normal society.
