Instructions
- 1 First, purge the snails. Soak them in water and salt, and once they stop producing foam, rinse them under running water. Transfer the snails to a pot with plenty of salted water and cook them for about 50 minutes. When you see them starting to come out of their shells, increase the heat so they remain outside, making them easier to remove later.
- 2 Once cooked, drain the snails and remove them from their shells. Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the snails first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.
- 3 Heat a pan with plenty of extra virgin olive oil and fry the breaded snails until golden brown. Drain and serve hot!
