Ingredients List
- 100 Snails
- Vinegar
- 2 Thyme sprigs
- 1/2 Bay leaf
- 1 Basil sprig
- 1 Pared orange peel
- 7 oz Pork rind
- 1/2 c Olive oil
- 1/2 lb Fatty bacon
- 6 Shelled walnuts, ground
- 4 Canned anchovy fillets
- 3 Garlic cloves
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tb Flour
- 6 1/2 lb Whole trimmed spinach leaves
Directions
Preparation time 3 hours. Cooking time 2 1/2 hours. Starve the snails for
at least 8 days, then wash them in several changes of water until clean.
Rinse with vinegar, then drain. Place the snails in a saucepan of boiling
water with the thyme, bay leaf, basil, orange peel and pork rind. When the
snails are almost cooked, drain them and remove them from their shells.
[I guess boiling them makes it easier to remove them from their shells.
~-mkm] Brown the snails in olive oil with the fatty bacon, very finely
chopped [I assume the author means chop the bacon first. mkm], the ground
walnuts, anchovy fillets, crushed garlic and salt and pepper. Thicken the
mixture with the flour, then serve on a bed of spinach. [Make sure you wash
all the grit off the spinach first. mkm] Rose, red or white wines:
Tavel, Chusclan, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. [From "Larousse Traditional
