02 — Equipment

1 large barbecue grill (40 cm / 16 in)

1 large outdoor barbecue or griddle

1 large bowl for rinsing the snails

1 stainless-steel bowl (1 L / 1 qt) for the marinade

1 silicone pastry brush

1 sturdy wooden spoon

1 paring knife

6 serving plates

03 — Method

Purge the snails in the large bowl of salted, vinegared water for 2 hours to clean them.
Make the marinade by mixing the olive oil with the crushed garlic, chopped parsley and freshly ground pepper.
Light the barbecue ahead of time so you have hot embers.
Set the snails opening side up on the hot grill to keep their juices.
Cook 10 minutes, brushing often with the marinade.
Meanwhile, grill the smoked lardons and figatelli on the same grill until browned.
Serve the snails piping hot straight from the grill with the lardons and figatelli, and Corsican red wine.
