Directions:
- There is a small membrane, known as an operculum, at the opening of each snail.
- Use a toothpick to remove this membrane and it will come off easily.
- Place the snails in a basin and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drain and rinse once more in cold water that contains a generous amount of salt.
- Rinse once more in cold water before cooking.
- Add four quarts of cold water to a kettle and add the snails and about three tablespoons salt.
- Bring slowly to a boil and simmer six minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, place the garlic and one teaspoon of salt in a small, heavy bowl.
- Crush the garlic with a pestle or the back of a heavy spoon to make a paste.
- Add the oil, pepper (to taste), lemon juice, and six tablespoons cold water.
- Stir with a whisk to blend.
- Drain the snails and serve hot with the sauce cold.
- Note: To eat the snails, pull out the meat with a pick and dip them one at a time in the sauce.
- The whole snail may be eaten, although the most fastidious prefer to skip the soft after end of the meat, which is the digestive tract.
