Traditional Spanish Flavour with a Rich Tomato Sauce
Tender land snails in a savoury tomato sauce with chorizo, onion, garlic and dried pepper.
A traditional Navarre-style stew with rounded flavour, gentle spice and no pronounced heat.
This classic preparation combines land snails with a slowly developed sauce based on tomato, onion, garlic and chorizo.
The result is deeply savoury and full of character, while remaining balanced rather than strongly spicy.
Land snails make up 36% of the recipe and provide a firm yet tender texture that holds well in the rich sauce.
Chorizo, dried pepper and selected spices add warmth and depth without dominating the dish.
Tomato forms the base of the sauce, supported by olive oil, onion, carrot and garlic.
The chorizo contributes pork richness and paprika, creating a sauce suited to dipping with bread or serving as part of a Spanish tasting selection.
Warm gently in a saucepan or in a bain-marie and serve as a substantial tapa or starter.
Add cayenne, chilli sauce or black pepper for extra heat, or finish with oregano, thyme or rosemary according to the menu.
MOLLUSCS: land snails (Helix aspersa) (36%), tomato (12%), olive oil, water, onion, chorizo (lean pork, pork jowl, bacon, pork casing, paprika, salt and garlic) (3%), carrot, dried pepper, garlic, salt and spices.
