Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Shallot, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, leaves only, minced
- 1 teaspoon White wine
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature until softened but not melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, minced shallot, chopped parsley, and minced thyme.
Add the white wine, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl.
Using a spatula or fork, thoroughly mix the ingredients until completely combined and evenly distributed.
Transfer the butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Roll and shape the mixture into a log approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Wrap the parchment paper tightly around the butter log and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the butter firms up.
Once set, slice the escargot butter into medallions as needed, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Use the escargot butter to top cooked snails, broil until bubbling, and enjoy as part of a classic escargot dish.
