In our previous episode we cooked deep fried bacon wrapped snails. Today we're going a little more traditional with creamy garlic snails, served on skewers to make them finger food friendly.
Ingredients
36 Medium snails
50g Butter
15ml Crushed garlic
60ml Cream
2.5ml Cornflour dissolved in a little water
Instructions
Drain the snails in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Transfer the snails to a dish towel and pat them dry.
To continue, measure out the butter and chopped garlic, along with the cream. Dissolve the cornflour in a little water.
Cut the bread fingers from a loaf of farm style, or light rye bread.
Heat your pan over medium high heat and add the butter. When the butter is bubbling, add the snails. Fry the snails for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic to the snails and continue to fry for a further 60 seconds.
Pour in the cream and stir this until totally combined. Add the corn flour to the pan and stir this in.
Allow the pan to simmer for 60 seconds before removing it from the heat.
Using a pair of tongs, thread 2 to 3 snails onto each toothpick.
Transfer the skewers to single serving bowls along with the bread fingers. Top each skewer with a little of the creamy garlic sauce and serve immediately.
