Danish Snails from Farm to Table

All good dishes start with getting good ingredients. In this video I visit a snail farmer just outside Copenhagen. You will meet the snail farmer Ditte Ankjærgaard who runs the farm with her partner Carsten Gydahl-Jensen. They farm free-range snails of the species Helix Aspersa Maxima. It is a small snail and a more tender type than the Burgundy snail. The farm is also producing snail caviar.
In Klinken’s Kitchen you will get to know how to cook blanched snails in two ways inspired by the Mediterranean kitchen: pasta with snails in a spice sauce and gratinated snails. Snails are used around the world and you can cook them in many ways and use seasonal ingredients. Support alternative and small food productions by enjoying.
Recipes with snails
In the video I precook snails for two dishes and if you only want to do one dish you can freeze the cooked snails. Cooking time for blanched snails are 45 - 60 minutes until the snails are 75 C in the center.
The two lists of ingredients are for 4 persons.
Pasta with spicy sauce and snails
175 g blanched snails (around 25 pcs)
1 onion
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh thyme and bayleaves
2 dl white wine
salt
Spicy sauce:
500 g diced tomatoes
½ dl olive oil
3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1-2 small or medium size squash
4-5 anchovies (salted)
1 tsp hot chili sauce (yellow or red)
½ chopped herbs: Mint, basil, parsley and tagets
400-500 g fettuchini or linguine
Topping: Fresh grated parmesan cheese
Gratinated snails with garlic and parsley
175 g blanched snails (around 25 pcs)
1 onion
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh thyme and bayleaves
2 dl white wine
salt
Topping:
2 slices of bread - made into bread crumps
40 g soft butter
3-4 grated cloves of garlic
1 dl chopped parsley
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Total cooking time for the snails is 50 minutes in the pan and then
baking time 10-15 minutes in an oven preheated to 225 C.

[@francessfamilytv5249]

Can you please tell me where I can get the snails for cooking here in Copenhagen Denmark?

[@klinkenskitchen1092]

Please ask Ditte Ankjærgaard at her homepage www.nordicsnails.com - I have got them at markets and at the moment I am not sure where you buy them.

[@ditteankjrgaard6660]

Hi Francess, you can buy them throug wholesaler Kalu at Vesterbro or directly by me, the producer. I’m in Roskilde but are going to Cph once or twice a week to deliver 😉 text or call me at 23989301

[@ditteankjrgaard6660]

Hi - did you just call me? The connection was bad and I could not here the message? And could not see who has called because of “ukendt”( no number shown)? Please text me 🙏🌸

[@bernarditapinedo4880]

I never ate snails, but at home I have many of them eating my plants . I would like to know how you take out the shell to cook them.

[@klinkenskitchen1092]

Please let us know what kind of snails it is? I am sure you cook them in the shell and take the out after. You also have to be sure they are clean before - that is what the professional snail farms can manage.

[@ikene9821]

Break the shell with a stone, pull out the snails, and wash the slime off with lime or alum. Lime is preferred. Pick off the unwanted parts and viola, you cook them or fry them. In my country, snails are a delicacy and cost a lot. I know a restaurant that sells two large snails with a vegetable garnish for $8, nearly twice the price of a kilo of mutton or beef.

[@motivationbymarutilabde8569]
