Rice with Snail’s Recipe

How to make Rice with snails:

• Here we have the ingredients for this soupy rice with snails. The most important thing is to have a lot of spices, if possible fresh, to cook the snails and make them delicious.
• First of all, we boil the snails in the vegetable broth, and add the rosemary, the mint and the sobrasada (which is somewhat spicy). In this way it will be a really tasty broth. These frozen snails will need about 30 minutes to be ready.
• While the snails are cooking, in a saucepan with a little oil, fry the chicken meat and the onion, preferably chopped.
• Then add the tomatoes, finely chopped. We left everything for a few minutes.
• By then the snails will be ready. We take them out and set them aside, and strain the broth to discard the spices. We pour the broth into the saucepan with the meat and the tomato.
• We continue the elaboration of our Spanish recipe for rice with snails by adding the already cooked snails to the saucepan, together with the rice.
• We also add the saffron and the black pepper, and as the rice drank the broth we will add more. We can make it very or slightly broth, according to our preferences. For the rice we will follow the cooking advice of the chosen brand, normally between 15 and 20 minutes is enough.
• Here we have the result: a magnificent soupy rice with chicken and snails.
