Ingredients

• Grape snails 1.7 kg
• White wine 200 ml
• Onion 200 gr
• Carrots100 gr
• Salt 1 tsp.
• Peppercorns 10 pcs.
• Flour 4 tablespoons l
• Baking soda 1 table l
• SNAP OIL:
• Salt 1 tsp.
• Butter400 gr
• Onion 50 gr
• Parsley50 gr
• Garlic40 gr
• Ground black pepper 0.5 tsp.

Directions

1. First, we wash the snails a couple of times under running water. We put it in a plastic container with small holes for air supply. Sprinkle the living creatures with flour and leave them for a day, after which we repeat the water procedures and dusting with flour again. All this is needed in order to cleanse the intestines of the snails before cooking.
2. On the third day, we rinse again, but without the subsequent addition of flour.
3. On the fourth day, we wash the snails and throw them into boiling water for 5 minutes. Next, drain the water, cool the snails and use tweezers to pull the meat out of the shells. Boil empty shells for 15-20 minutes with the addition of soda, then dry in the oven at 100-120 degrees (you need the shells to dry completely).
4. Separate the fillet from the intestines, cutting off the dark twisted part with a sharp knife. We send the fillet of snails into a saucepan, fill it with wine. Add water so that the liquid completely covers the fillet. We also add coarsely chopped onions and carrots, peppercorns and salt. Cook for 60 minutes, then drain the water.
5. To prepare snail oil, use a blender to grind onions, garlic, and parsley. Add salt, pepper and softened butter, mix all the ingredients with a blender again.
6. We take out dry shells, put some of the snail oil in them, then the cooled fillet and close the shell again with snail oil. We bring the shells filled in this way to readiness in the microwave for 3 minutes or in the oven (10 minutes). They should be placed in such a way that the "necks" of the shells look upwards to avoid spilling the fragrant oil, which should be eaten with the fillets.
7. It is tasty, healthy and not ordinary! Eat to your health!
