How to Make Snail Butter

  1. Soften 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter to room temperature. Cream the butter using a stand mixer or electric beaters until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon zest for a bright citrusy note.
  5. Season generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for a touch of heat).
  7. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the butter is smooth and creamy.
  8. Transfer the snail butter to a serving dish or piping bag. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
