Necessary ingredients: - 20 snails (preferably prepared snails from the store) - 100 g butter at room temperature - Fresh sage leaves (about 5-6 leaves) - Fresh rosemary leaves (about 5-6 leaves) - Salt, to taste - Freshly ground green pepper, to taste - Olive oil (for drizzling) - 100 g feta cheese - 3 cloves of garlic - Juice from one lemon Preparation: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the snails well under a stream of cold water to ensure they are clean. In a bowl, mix the soft butter with finely chopped sage and rosemary leaves. Add salt and green pepper to taste. This aromatic mixture will give the snails a unique flavor. 2. Adding the cheese: Buy quality feta cheese, as it will add a salty and creamy note. Crumble the cheese and mix it with the aromatic butter. You can use a fork to combine the ingredients until you achieve a smooth paste. 3. Preparing the garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely. Add the garlic to the butter and cheese mixture, mixing well to blend the flavors. 4. Filling the snails: Using a small spoon or a knife, fill each snail with the aromatic butter mixture. Make sure each snail is well filled, but do not overdo it to avoid spilling the mixture. 5. Cooking the snails: In a pan, add a little olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Place the snails in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning them carefully to brown evenly. You will smell the delicious aroma of butter and herbs. 6. Serving: When the snails are ready, squeeze the juice from one lemon over them to add a touch of freshness. Serve them warm, alongside a fresh green salad or even on a bed of toasted bread slices. This will become a delicious combination, perfect for a summer evening. Useful tips: - If you want to add a spicy note, you can include some chopped chili pepper in the butter mixture. - The snails can be served with a dry white wine that will highlight the dish's flavors. - Make sure you do not use wild snails, but only those from the store, which are properly prepared for consumption.
