Escargots à la Bourguignonne | Traditional Snail Dish From Burgundy, France | TasteAtlas

Escargots à la Bourguignonne

Escargots à la Bourguignonne is a traditional dish originating from Burgundy. The dish consists of snails that are baked with garlic and butter. If using fresh snails, they should be blanched in boiling water and rinsed in clear water. The snails are then cleaned with a small brush in a mixture of water and vinegar, and rinsed again.


Many people buy canned cooked snails and then place them in empty snail shells, which can be found in most French supermarkets. They are covered with plenty of garlic butter enriched with shallots, parsley, salt, and pepper, then baked in the oven.


Once done, the snails are served immediately. It's recommended to serve the dish with a crusty baguette for mopping up the juices.
