'Escargot can' tasting review with 36 canned escargots

Escargot is famous for French cuisine, but in Japan there are few shops that handle it as an ingredient, so there are few opportunities to eat it outside of restaurants. Gabin 'Escargot Can ' contains 36 such escargots and you can enjoy high quality escargot dishes at home at any time.

The escargot can looks like this. The escargot inside is boiled in water.

The only raw materials are escargot and salt. The content of escargot excluding the water inside is 250g.

The label shows the shells, but the cans do not contain the shells.

Comparing the size of the canned product with the iPhone 5, the canned product is a little smaller.

Speaking of escargot, it's garlic butter, so I'll prepare butter, garlic, and parsley to make it.

Finely chop the garlic.

It's thick.

Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds to reduce spiciness.

Then add chopped garlic to the butter that has been warmed to room temperature.

Sprinkle with parsley ...

Mix. It melted a little too much, but the garlic butter was completed. You can also mix herbs such as parsley with commercially available garlic butter.

Next, I will open the escargot can opener.

Opened. Contains 36 escargot strips.

When I put it on a plate, it's a little grotesque ...

After investigating various things, it is said that the odor can be suppressed by boiling it down, so lightly boil it down.

Boil the escargot for 5-10 minutes.

When it is boiled, open it and drain it.

Next, using the garlic butter I made earlier, I will make a mold with aluminum foil to make escargot herb grilled.

Put the boiled escargot on the aluminum foil ...

Add garlic butter.

Sprinkle bread crumbs over it.

Finally, add herb salt and you're ready to go.

Put it in the toaster oven and bake for about 5 minutes.

It's baked. The smell of garlic butter invites appetite.

Furthermore

, according to Amazon's review section, it is easy and delicious to stir-fry garlic butter in a frying pan, so I will try to make it. Put garlic butter in a warm frying pan ...

Introduced the lower boiled escargot.

Slowly fry over low to medium heat.

Stir-fry the garlic to the extent that it does not burn.

When you eat it from escargot butter, it has a unique and fluffy texture, like a combination of mushrooms and shellfish. I didn't feel much habit, and according to the editorial staff who likes escargot, it was 'a level that does not seem to be canned', and although some people were not good at it, it was highly evaluated overall, contrary to its appearance. I used

to make and eat frozen escargot , but it was much easier to eat and did not have the muddy odor found in commercial escargot.

The butter that collects on the bottom is mixed with the flavor of escargot, so it is recommended to eat it with a baguette.

If you smell escargot, you can add herbs or pepper to reduce the habit.

Escargot grilled with garlic butter has the same taste as garlic butter, but the texture of crispy bread crumbs and the aroma of herbs make it a different dish.

Escargot is an ingredient that is not very familiar in Japan, but Gabin Escargot cans are easy to enjoy escargot dishes and have high quality. It's very easy to eat, so even people who have never eaten escargot can enjoy it, and it can be stored for a long time, so if you like escargot, you may want to stock it.
