Homemade Snail Butter, Ready & Dosed.
Snail butter isn't just for snails.
It's great for cooking steak, fried potatoes, green beans.
And when it's all ready, it's done faster.
If you have a freezer, then here is an essential ingredient to have in stock.
Preparing it in large quantities is a trick that saves you a lot of time, and especially that of the dishes.
Cutting butter is fatty. Crush garlic, it sticks. And dirty the mixer for 3 branches of parsley ... it's depressing. So squat in your kitchen one of these days for a few minutes to be quiet for several months.
Ingredients
- 2 large plates of butter of 500 grams (when I do the bulk, I do not take it easy!) Half-salt or sweet, according to your taste,
- 1 head of garlic, or less if children are likely to eat it,
- 2 nice bunches of fresh parsley (which you got for free at the market at 1:00 p.m.?).
Equipment
A freezer, a large salad bowl, flexible silicone ice cube trays if possible, a wooden spoon, plastic wrap, and a blender. And for green people who don't have a mixer, like me: a pair of scissors and a garlic press!
P'tite casserole!
Leave the butter at room temperature for a few hours. We are going to work on it, it must be very soft. Peel the garlic. Wash the parsley, and pat dry. We don't want it to be waterlogged before freezing.
With the scissors, cut the parsley leaves, but keep the large stems. Freeze them, tied in bundles, to flavor a next soup, or broth.
Mix the garlic and parsley together, finely if possible, then pour into the large bowl. Or, crush the garlic and cut the parsley very finely with the scissors. Add the soft butter and mix with the wooden spoon until smooth.
After that ?
Distribute your butter among the ice cube trays. Cover with plastic wrap then put in the freezer. Depending on the size of the ice cubes and how much you are cooking, you will need more or less ice cubes.
In any case, they will be all ready, will turn out very easily, and will delight you. Roll on the mushroom season!
To find out if your butter is to your taste the first time, the ideal is to cook it the same day with a steak and green beans for example. You will know right away if it lacks garlic or something else.
