Preparation
Side-by-side mode
- In a large pan, boil butter at medium-high heat. Add five vegetables and Bay leaf, then brown 5 minutes while stirring. Add well-dried snails. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add salt and pepper up to taste. Deglaze with white wine. Reduce by half and pour the chicken into the broth. Bring to a boil and lower the stove to medium heat. Reduce by half.
- Add cream, thyme leaves, turmeric and five-spice powder. Spread with a few pinches of Cayenne pepper.
- Mix, then lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the preparation reduces. Add diluted cornstarch and continue cooking until the preparation is well-taken. Lightly cover the back of a spoon.
- Remove the pan from heat, and then rectify seasonings if needed. Cover and set aside. Cut the warm bread in two and remove a bit of crumb. Set half of the bread at the center of six medium-sized plates then cover with creamy snails fricassee. Partly cover each portion with other half of bread and serve right away.
- If you cook this recipe beforehand, cover it well in the refrigerator and warm it with the bread at the last minute.
- This creamy fricassee can be prepared up to 24 hours beforehand.
