All the recipes I've seen so far involve tons of garlic butter. Years
ago I had an excellent appetizer at a Portuguese restaurant: snails
poached in a thin spicy tomato broth. If I wanted to reproduce it I
would start with onions, garlic, chilies, celery leaf and thyme simmered
in Clamato juice, strain the juice and then poach the snails in it.
Perhaps add a little white wine; I think I'd come close. It was
wonderful and not at all fattening.
