Snails in Garlic–Herb Butter
(Escargots a la Bourguignonne)
In this version of this rich, timeless dish, once de rigueur on the menu at many high-end French restaurants, garlic- and herb-laced butter is given an aromatic edge by the addition of Pernod, the French anise-flavored spirit.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup plus 4 tbsp. unsalted, uncultured butter (like Plugrá or Kerrygold), at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1⁄2 tbsp. finely chopped chives
  • 2 tsp. Pernod
  • 3⁄4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp. finely chopped tarragon leaves
  • 1⁄4 tsp. cayenne
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 36 snail shells
  • 36 canned snails, preferably from Burgundy, drained and rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 loaf country-style French bread
