Why? Hearty and comforting, this New Orleans-inspired dish is sure to impress guests this holiday season. The recipe serves 10 and is perfect for a family-style feast.

Ingredients:

French baguette

2 oz olive oil

1 72-count can French escargot

3 shallots, diced

1 red tomato, diced

4 garlic cloves, chopped

4 green onions, chopped

4 oz white wine

4 oz butter

Directions:

Slice baguette and grill.

In a medium-sized sauce pan, add oil, shallots, escargot, tomato, garlic, green onions, and chopped garlic and sauté for three minutes on low heat.

Season to taste, then mix in parsley.

Pour over grilled baguette and serve hot.
