Preparation

Custard cream:

Put the parsley into boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and blend it.

Roast the snails and the spinaches. Cool them down and blend them with the other ingredients. Season.

Roll the preparation on a baking tray (3 cm thick) and wrap it in cling-film. Cook it in the oven at 80 °C for 20 minutes around.

Let it cool and cut small rectangles in it.


Stuffing:

Put the parsley into boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and blend it.

Blend all the other ingredients together. Add the parsley purée.

Leave aside.


Spaghetti:

Cook the spaghetti. Drain them without cooling them.

Lay it immediately on roasting foil very flatly. Press them one against another on a tray of 40x60 cm and spread a thin layer of stuffing on the spaghetti. Cut-off the tray’s edges.

Starting from one side of the tray, lay a custard cream rectangle perpendicularly to the spaghetti. Roll it in order to wrap completely the custard cream with spaghetti. Put cling-film around to keep the shape.

Heat-up at 70° C for 10 minutes just before serve.


Juice:

Reduce the poultry juices with a bit of the snails cooking juices and the vinegar.

Bit-in the butter.


Garnish:

Crush the hazelnuts. Roast them.

Dice the tomatoes finely.

Fry the snails. Add the hazelnuts and the tomatoes. Deglaze with a bit of juices.
