If you're up to exotic food, then you will like this one. Kuhol (also known as escargot or snails) tastes really good when cooked with coconut milk, i have always liked it even as a child, despite of its slimy appearance. Glad I found "kuhol" at the wet market today, and it's only P40 a kilo. This meal costs me only less than a hundred peso. Nice!
Ingredients:
1 kilo kuhol (snails)
2 cups, coconut milk
3 thumb-sized ginger, crushed
3 birds eye pepper , chopped
salt or fish sauce, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
1 cup spinach
1 tbsp brown sugar
How to prepare:
> Soak the snails in water for about an hour. Then remove its tail-ends with a knife. Wash, drain well, and set aside.
> In a pot, cook the coconut milk, with the ginger, onions and garlic. Bring to boil, while constantly stirring. Cook for about 5-10 minutes
> Add the kuhol (snails). Season with salt or fish sauce, ground pepper and sugar.Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the spinach. Remove from heat.
> Makes about 5-6 servings.
Variation:
> instead of spinach, you might like to use kangkong (water spinach), dahon sili (chili leaves) or dahon ng paku (edible fern leaves).
