Escargot A La Bourguignonne Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well.
• Place a snail in each shell and fill the cavity with the seasoned butter. (If you do not have shells, you can use escargot baking dishes - this is actually how I prefer to make them. Most of such dishes hold 6 escargot apiece.).
• Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes.
• Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes - or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about. Also, small silver forks to easily eat them with are a good idea.
• Make sure to have plenty of good bread alongside, to mop up the delicious butter sauce! :).
• Also good with a bit of Parmesan sprinkled on top of each.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Purée butter, garlic, parsley, and shallot in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide half the garlic butter among sterilized snail shells. Stuff with snails (1 per shell) and remaining garlic butter.
• Bake 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl cream together the butter, shallots, parsley, garlic, lemon.
• juice, Worcestershire and Tabasco, salt, pepper, and Pernod.
• Simmer the drained escargots in a little wine for a few minutes [long enough for them to absorb the wine].
• Drain them.
• Place some of the creamed mixture in each snail shell [using half of the creamed mixture], place escargots on top [one per shell], then top with remaining creamed mixture.
• Place the shells in an oven-proof serving.
• pan and bake them at 450 degrees F. until the butter begins to sizzle.
• Just before serving, sprinkle each escargot with a little dry white wine.
