Ingredients
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped shallots
Salt and pepper
3 dozen fresh snails, purged and removed from the shell
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup aioli, recipe follows
1 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil.
When the oil is hot, add the shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the

snails and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute for 1 minute. Add the wine and
bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir in the cold butter.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the heat. Place the snails in the porcelain snail dishes. Spoon the liquid over
each snail. Spoon a teaspoon of the aioli over each snail. In a small mixing bowl, combine the

*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight
risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only
fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact
between the yolks or whites and the shell.
