Servings: persons

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

1
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.
2
Cook that about 10 minutes, when the onion should be soft, the mushrooms cooked, and the cream sauce reduced.
3
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.
4
Now add the escargots, herbs, garlic, butter, salt and pepper to the pot.
5
Stir through, and simmer for about 2 minutes until the escargots/snails are heated through.
6
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.
