Making the Peppered Snails
-Put the cleaned snails in a pot and pour water to cover them.
-Add the stock cube and the chunks of onion.-
-Cover and start cooking on medium heat. While cooking, top up the water when necessary so it does not burn.
-Put the sliced tomatoes, pepper and onions in another pot and start cooking on medium heat. The aim is to steam them till they are soft. Stir from time to time so it does not burn.
-After 30 minutes, the snails should be well cooked. Remember to top up the water as you cook them. Note that the tongue of the snails are still crunchy even when the snails are done.
-Remove the chunks of onion from the snails. Increase the heat to high and stir constantly till all the remaining liquid in the pot is absorbed. Set it aside.
-When the water dries from the pepper, tomatoes and onions, add the vegetable oil and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir continuously so it does not stick to the pot.
-Add salt and stir very well.
-Add the cooked snail. Stir very well and add more salt if necessary.
-Now wash, partially cook and add your kpomo
-That’s it! Leave to cool down a bit, insert toothpicks and serve with onions.
