Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Prepare the snails and set them aside.
  • Remove the stems from the mushrooms. The stems may be set aside for another recipe.
  • Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan. Add the mushrooms, stemmed side up, and cook briefly about two minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the mushrooms and cook about one minute.
  • Arrange the mushrooms close together, stemmed side up, on a baking dish.
  • Place one snail in each mushroom cavity.
  • Combine the remaining four tablespoons of butter, the shallots, garlic, pecans, parsley, salt and pepper to taste in the container of a food processor or electric blender. Process until well blended.
  • Spoon an equal portion of the butter on top of each snail. Place the snails in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with Cognac and serve.
