lumache al sugo

/loo-MAH-keh ahl SOO-goh/
[Italian]

A dish of snails, around 40 per person, purged and blanched for five minutes. The shells are then picked and the flesh boiled for an hour in water acidulated with vinegar. The animals are then returned to their shells and served with a sauce made with tomatoes cooked with olive oil, carrots and onions, flavoured with prosciutto, parsley and chillis.
