Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a food processor and add the remaining butter, parsley and cream. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl's sides. Mix in the salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the escargots and cook for about 5 minutes. Keep warm. Place the remaining butter mixture in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until it liquefies but is thick and creamy.

ESCARGOT, IN THE SHELL WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:
- Rinse the escargot under warm water, pat shells dry with a paper towel, then set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, shallots, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients well with a small spoon. Lightly season butter with salt and pepper, until desired taste is achieved.
- When butter is at desired flavor, begin to scoop a small amount of herb butter in each shell of escargot. If there is extra butter left over after each shell has been filled, go back and continue the process, adding extra butter, until all the butter has been used.
- Put the stuffed shells into the fridge and allow to sit for about 20 minutes, giving the butter enough time to solidify in shells. While the shells are in the fridge, set the oven to 350 degrees F.
- When the butter is solid in the shells, remove from fridge and transfer shells into an oven-safe pan. If possible, avoid placing shells on a sheet tray, as we want the snails to cook in the butter as much as possible. Cook snails for 15 minutes, max.
- Serve snails, in shells, on top of toasted pieces of baguette, or in a fresh tomato-based sauce.
ESCARGOTS WITH PERSILLADE BUTTER
Keep a batch of garlicky green Persillade Butter on hand along with a can of Burgundy snails, and you can throw an impromptu French fête in 15 minutes. Chef Boulud will show you how to stuff the canned snails into shells with the butter, which will melt in the oven to transform into an irresistible sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Prepare the Persillade Butter: In the bowl of a food processor, add butter, garlic, shallots, parsley, chives, almond flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Blend until bright green and uniformly combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl and push down the parsley as needed. Makes 1 cup.
- To cool the butter: Place Persillade Butter on a square of plastic wrap. Roll into a log about the same diameter as the divots of the escargot dish; then wrap tightly, removing as much air as possible. Place in the refrigerator. (Persillade Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
- Escargots, part 1: Remove snails from the can and drain; discard the liquid. Escargot can be prepared with or without shells. With shells: Use a small spoon to push a snail into each shell; do not push too deeply, or the snails will be hard to retrieve. Without shells: Place one snail in each divot of an escargot dish.
- Escargots, part 2: Use an offset spatula to pack each snail shell with about 1 tablespoon of the Persillade Butter. Neatly level off the butter at the opening and place in the escargot dish, opening side up. (As the escargots bake, some of the butter will melt out of the shells and into the dish.)Without shells: It's best to use well-chilled Persillade Butter for escargots without shells. Unwrap the log of butter and slice about 1 tablespoon of butter per snail. Cover each snail with a slice of butter. Use a paring knife to trim away the top and bottom of each cherry tomato; then cut in half. Top each snail with a slice of cherry tomato. Place both escargot dishes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up). Roast in the oven until butter is foaming, 8-10 minutes.
- Remove escargots from oven. Serve hot with escargot forks (optional) and baguette slices.

Tips:
- Choose fresh escargot. Fresh escargot have a light, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid escargot that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Purge the escargot. Purging removes any dirt or grit from the escargot. To purge the escargot, place them in a colander and sprinkle them with salt. Cover the escargot with cold water and let them sit for at least 2 hours. Rinse the escargot thoroughly before cooking.
- Cook the escargot in a hot oven. A hot oven will help to create a crispy shell and a tender interior. Bake the escargot at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the escargot are hot and cooked through.
- Serve the escargot immediately. Escargot are best served immediately after they are cooked. Serve them with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy!
