Escargots In Herbed Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 tablespoons creme fraiche (or sour cream)
5 -6 mushrooms, white, fat, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
7 ounces escargot (canned, undrained, 200g)
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chervil, finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped (or to taste, but use a lot)
1 tablespoon butter
good pinch flaked sea salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Preparation

Put the creme fraiche, finely chopped mushrooms and finely chopped small onion in a pot. Heat on high until it starts bubbling. Stir well, fairly often, and then turn heat down a little.
Cook that about 10 minutes, when the onion should be soft, the mushrooms cooked, and the cream sauce reduced.
In the meantime, open the can of escargots and rinse them in a sieve, and shake them to dry a little. You've also chopped the herbs.
Now add the escargots, herbs, garlic, butter, salt and pepper to the pot.
Stir through, and simmer for about 2 minutes until the escargots/snails are heated through.
I like to serve this in individual ramekins, with a nice bread roll or French bread, or freshly made bread. And it can stand waiting in a warming oven.
