Snails in White Wine are a delicious appetizer made with snails cooked in a delightful sauce of dry white wine and chicken broth, enriched with flavored butter with shallot, garlic, and mixed herbs. This dish is a delight of French cuisine and represents a delicacy to enjoy during a refined dinner or a special occasion. The snails, with their delicate and unique flavor, perfectly match the intense flavors of the wine and aromatic herbs, creating an explosion of taste in every bite.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the chopped shallot and garlic over moderate heat for 3-4 minutes
Add the bouquet garni, snails, and necessary salt, and let them all flavor together for a few moments, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth and let it cook over very low heat for about three hours
Five minutes before the end, add the slice of white bread softened in Marc de Bourgogne, squeezed and crumbled
Finally, remove the preparation from the heat and let it cool
Remember that if you use canned snails, you should reduce the cooking time to 20 minutes and halve the amount of white wine and broth
Place half a teaspoon of the snail cooking base and a mollusk in each shell
Mix in a bowl the butter, chopped shallot and garlic, mixed herbs, necessary salt, and a grind of pepper until you get a homogeneous mixture
Place a little flavored butter in each shell, distribute them on eight special plates, and bake them in a hot oven (200-220 degrees) for 10 minutes, then serve
