Escargot With Garlic-Parsley Butter image

Sadly, you're not going to be able to waltz down to the corner store and pick up escargots and shells. We ordered the Saveurs brand, along with the shells, from Amazon. This recipe is worth the wait.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) European-style butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg
12 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup finely chopped parsley
24 large empty escargots shells
24 extra-large canned escargots, preferably from Burgundy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Using an electric mixer on medium, beat butter in a medium bowl until smooth. With motor off, add wine, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then beat on medium until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add garlic, shallot, and parsley; mix just until incorporated. Transfer butter to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off end (or 1 corner if using plastic bag).
  • Place shells in a single layer in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish and pipe about 2 tsp. garlic-parsley butter into each. Tuck a snail inside each shell, then pipe in more garlic-parsley butter to fill shell and mound over top. Bake until snails are sizzling and garlic in butter no longer tastes raw, 10-15 minutes.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Shells can be filled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.
