DIRECTION FOR MAKING NIGERIAN SNAIL SAUCE
- First, boil the water with salt and only add the clean snails when water boils.
- Cover and leave snails to boil and harden for about 3 to 5 minutes. That makes the snails very crunchy.
- Add the stir-fried vegetables, remaining seasoning cube, curry, check for salt.
- Add the flour paste, stir to thicken for about a minute, check for salt and thickness. If too thick for you, add a little water, if too watery you can sprinkle in some flour while stirring briskly.
- Finally, remove the seeds from the green pepper, shred and add, immediately turn off the heat. Stir to mix very well and serve hot snail sauce with your boiled rice or drink as hot soup for the cold weather.
