Escargot has a reputation for being fussy and a little intimidating.
I'd love to clear that up, because the dish we serve here in Bandera is far simpler and far more generous than its name suggests.
So here are three things most people don't know about our escargot, especially if you've walked right past it on the menu.
First, the garlic and herb butter carries the dish. The escargot is cooked in it, and that rich, savory butter is where so much of the flavor lives.
Second, the crusty bread belongs to the recipe. It's there for dipping, so the best part left in the dish never goes to waste.
Third, it comes to the table bubbling hot. That heat is how it's meant to be eaten, with the butter still bubbling when you reach for the bread.
Here at Paniolo, we bring a little Hill Country hospitality and a little aloha to everything we set on the table, and this French classic fits right in.
Share it around the table with friends or keep it all to yourself.
Both are the right way to have it.
