Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 kilogram sea snails, or regular snails if you don’t have access to the sea
6 cloves garlic, diced
one bunch of coriander/cilantro, leaves and stems roughly diced
splash of white wine
2 good chunks of butter
1 small chili, diced
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. First, clean snails. In a stockpot, bring water to a boil. Add snails and boil for one minute. Repeat once more.

2. Drain the hot water, then use a toothpick to pick the meat out of its shell.

3. Heat up a frying pan or wok over high heat. Add chunks of butter, then garlic and chili. Fry, stirring constantly until aromatic.

4. Add snails into the pan, pour a splash of white wine in there, and cook for about one minute.

5. Remove from heat, add coriander, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss around to incorporate. Eat with a crusty baguette and white wine.
