Steps for Simon Brenet 's snail egg rolls

  1. Prepare the vegetable pickles (the day before): mix the vinegar, sugar, salt and spices with 25 cl water and bring to the boil. Pour the liquid over the pre-cut vegetables. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the garlic butter: mix all the trimmed ingredients with the softened semi-salted butter. Set aside in a cool place.
  3. For the comté cream: mix milk, cream, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Pour over the grated Comté cheese and stir until smooth. Set aside in a cool place.
  4. Prepare the egg rolls: sweat the shallots in olive oil with the bay leaf without browning, adding salt at the beginning of cooking, then add the carrots. Cook the carrots al dente.
  5. Cut the Morteau sausage into small cubes. Melt the garlic butter, then add the snails. Brown well and flambé with Pontarlier wine.
  6. Make the filling by mixing the vegetables, snails and sausage. Assemble the egg rolls by slightly soaking the rice cakes.
  7. Fry the nems in 2 cm of oil on each side for 2 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
