Snails In Mushroom Caps Recipes

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.
• Cover mushrooms with parmesan and gruyere.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and browned in spots.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley and grate fresh nutmeg over top.
• Serve immediately with slices of crusty baguette.

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.

MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH SNAILS

Steps:

• First make the Snail butter: Cream the softened butter with the shallots, garlic, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Saute the mushroom caps in butter until just cooked through.
• Arrange on baking sheet hollow side up.
• Coat the snails with the snail butter, and place one in each cap.
• Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley.
• Heat in a 450F oven for 10 minutes and serve immediately.

SNAILS AND MUSHROOMS IN HERBED CREAM

Steps:

• Simmer crème fraîche with mushrooms, shallot, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a heavy medium saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, then add snails, herbs, and butter and cook, stirring, until snails are heated through and butter is incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in small ramekins.
