Yields4 ServingsPrep Time32 minsCook Time8 minsTotal Time40 mins

Original recipe that will impress your guests. Often cooked with chili, they can, however, be subject to creativity; as appetizers, in a broth, with white wine, their preparation is easy and their success is guaranteed!

Ingredients
 450 Winkles
 1 Coarse salt
 1 Crushed pepper
 1 Bay leaf
 Small toast made from soft bread
 200 Butter
 1 Parsley
 2 cloves Garlic
 4 Almond powder
 1 Mustard
 100 Button mushrooms
 3 Tomatoes
 2 Shallots
 2 Powdered sugar
 Olive oil
 Salt
 Pepper
Directions
1

Blend together the butter, garlic, parsley, almond powder, mustard, salt, and pepper. Roll it up using plastic wrap, making sure to tighten it well. Place in the freezer.

2

Place the small snails in a saucepan, cover with cold water. Add a handful of coarse salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Let cool off the heat.

3

Cut the mushrooms into small 3 mm cubes. Chop the shallot. Sauté the mushrooms with the shallot in a little olive oil. Set aside.

4

Remove the skin from the tomatoes, the liquid, and cut them into 3 mm cubes. Cook them in a little olive oil with the chopped shallot, sugar, salt, and pepper for about 5 minutes. Set aside.

5

Remove the shells from the snails. Butter the top of the toast. Cut the butter (taken out of the freezer) into slices of 2 mm.

6

To finish, fill the jars with a teaspoon of tomato, a teaspoon of mushrooms, several whelks, and a slice of parsley butter. Cover the jar with the toast (buttered side out). Place the jars in the oven at 220°C (thermostat 7) for 8 minutes. Just enough time to brown the croutons and warm the whelks.
