ESCARGOTS IN MUSHROOMS WITH PERNOD BUTTER
This restaurant-style appetizer is not difficult to make, especially with canned escargots. We flavour the accompanying herbed butter with Pernod, an anise-flavoured French liqueur.
Yield: Serves 6.

ESCARGOTS IN MUSHROOMS WITH PERNOD BUTTER
Ingredients
- 24 large fresh mushrooms
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 can (200 g) escargots, rinsed and drained
- Pernod Butter*
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Remove stems from mushrooms; reserve stems for another use.
- Melt butter in a large frypan over medium heat. Add mushroom caps and sauté for 4 - 5 minutes, just until mushrooms are slightly tender and excess liquid has been released. Discard excess liquid. Place mushroom caps in a single layer in a shallow 3 quart baking dish. Place 1 - 2 escargots in each mushroom cap. Top each filled mushroom with 1 1/2 tsp Pernod Butter.
- Bake until escargots are heated through and butter is melted, about 5 - 7 minutes. Serve with toasted baguette slices or French bread.
