Escargots de Bourgogne
Burgundy-style snails baked in their shells with garlic, parsley, shallot and seasoned butter.
About Escargots de Bourgogne
Escargots de Bourgogne, also called escargots à la bourguignonne, are the classic Burgundian preparation of snails baked in garlic-parsley butter. This profile follows French chef Ludo Lefebvre's version with shallot, nutmeg and dry white wine.
The snails have a mild earthy savouriness that carries the rich butter. Garlic, parsley and shallot bring freshness and depth, while wine, pepper and nutmeg add a gentle aromatic lift.
Each snail sits in its shell beneath a glossy pool of green-flecked butter. Served sizzling hot, the snail is tender and springy while the melted butter remains rich and spoonable.
