  • For the escargots in a spicy tomato sauce, sweat the shallots and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Then add tomato paste and deglaze with white wine.
  • Shortly afterwards, add the plum tomatoes and the tomato puree. Boil the whole thing once. Now add rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic and a little tarragon and simmer the sauce over a low heat for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Chop the peppers (without seeds) and add the snails and let them steep for about 10-15 minutes. Season everything to taste with salt, pepper, cream, sugar and the remaining tarragon.
  • Arrange in deep plates, put some Parmesan in the middle and garnish with 2 leaves of basil.
