BAKED ESCARGOT IN MUSHROOM CAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Stuff one escargot into each mushroom cap.
• Arrange caps on an escargot dish, one to each indentation.
• In a small sauté pan heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.
• Cook shallots and garlic until softened and beginning to caramelize.
• Using a teaspoon drizzle shallot butter into each mushroom cap.
• Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley.

ESCARGOT WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Saute 1 chopped shallot with 1 tablespoon butter until the shallots are soft. Add the sliced mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a separate pan, saute the remaining chopped shallot in 1 tablespoon butter. Add the snails and the garlic to the pan and toss. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac. Ignite the Cognac with a lighter or by tilting the pan carefully towards the open flame and letting it catch. Flambe the Cognac until it is almost reduced. Add the Cabernet, bay leaf, and thyme, and reduce the liquid in the pan by two-thirds. Pour the veal stock into the pan and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
• After the snail mixture has simmered for 5 minutes, add in the mushrooms and remove from the heat. Whisk in the remaining butter and stir in the truffle oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and top with chives. Serve the snails divided between warm shallow bowls.

ESCARGOT STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS

Steps:

• Wash mushrooms and remove stems (I put the stems in salads or sauté them for steaks, etc).
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil the foil (I use an oil sprayer).
• Arrange the mushroom caps tightly together,hollow side up on the foil.
• Stuff each cap with the escargot. Some caps will be able to hold more than one.
• Cover everything with the shredded cheese.
• Bake at 325 for approx 20 minute or until the cheese has fully melted and the mushrooms and escargot are completely heated through. (The less time you cook these the juicier they are, so I tend to cook them a bit longer).
• Enjoy! Think about the subtleties in the taste when you try your first ones.

EASY GARLIC ESCARGOTS

Steps:

• Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
• Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
