Pipe pasta, chickweed, and snails

Pipe pasta, chickweed, and snails

INSPIRATION

This dish is born from the desire to narrate spring through an original lens: to capture the very moment when snails awaken from their winter torpor, returning to populate the verdant sanctuaries of our trusted farm, cradled in Favaro near the outskirts of Venice.

To pay homage to this awakening, we cream the pipe pasta with a sauce of chickweed — a common, wild herb for which snails possess a voracious fondness — whilst at the base lies a slow-stewed preparation of the mollusks, a traditional element designed to evoke a sensory memory.

Completing the dish: a dusting of nettle powder, wild garlic oil, and an extract of bladder campion and wood sorrel, which guests pour directly onto the plate from the snail's shell — a simple gesture that invites their participation, transforming the meal into a moment of shared conviviality.

CURATION

  1. For the purification of live snails:
    Purge the living snails within a grand basin filled with tepid water, coarse salt, and vinegar. Repeat this ritual, renewing the salted and vinegared water every 30 minutes, for no fewer than four cycles. Once this essential purification is complete, rinse them meticulously under running water to banish all trace of the mucilage they have spun. Simmer them subsequently in a court-bouillon infused with celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf for at least 45 minutes. Extract the snails from their shells with the aid of a delicate skewer, then gently separate their anatomy, discarding both mouth and intestine.

  2. For the braised snails in sauce:
    Warm the butter and oil, allowing the rich fat of the guanciale to melt into them, then introduce the vegetables cut into a fine brunoise, gently coaxing them to tenderness without allowing them to take on color. Introduce the snails—freed of their veil of mucilage in warm water—and let them surrender their natural juices; once these have been absorbed back, bathe them in white wine. Once the spirit of the wine has vanished into air, gently place the bouquet garni within and cover the snails just to their crown with the rich stock. Cover with moistened parchment paper and foil, then let them simmer with profound patience. This slow braising knows no fixed hour, for it belongs to the nature of the snails chosen; after the first two hours have elapsed, inspect the preparation every hour, arresting the fire if they have reached perfection or letting them dream further on the hearth. Satisfied with the yield of the mollusk's bite, drain the snails upon a perforated tray nested over another, and pass the captured nectar through a fine sieve to banish any stray vegetable fibers. Reduce this liquid to your heart's desire, then emulsify it with the luxurious pâté of snail livers. Reunite the elements, binding them into a cohesive, velvety, and deeply concentrated sauce.

  3. For the pâté of snail livers:
    Confect the onion in olive oil, allowing it to caramelize deeply and with great patience; indeed, such harmonious caramelization demands nearly an hour of gentle heat. Drain any excess oil once this golden alchemy is achieved, then deglaze first with white wine, and subsequently with red. Once the spirit of the wines has wept away, add the snail livers, letting them steep in the rich infusion for 8 to 10 minutes; during this embrace, introduce the bay leaves, then moisten with the stock little by little, letting it simmer until the liquids are beautifully bound. Blend the whole to a sublime purée in the Bimby, then pass it through a fine sieve until it becomes a slick, satin-smooth paste.

  4. For the pipa sauce:
    Emulsify the ingredients within the Bimby (the paste of bladder campion, the chickweed paste, the wild garlic paste, the rich chard cream, and the starch-bound water prepared half an hour prior), until you achieve a sauce of perfect, velvety cling, free of any granulate or stray fiber.

  5. For the Parmigiano base:
    Blend the ingredients in the Bimby at 80°C for 10 minutes, then filter the preparation through a fine mesh.

  6. For the wild garlic oil:
    Infuse the wild garlic with the seed oil in the Bimby at 70°C, then allow it to decant and store the liquid gold.

  7. For the wild garlic powder:
    Artfully blend the powdered wild garlic and powdered nettle in the prescribed proportions.

  8. For the extract of bladder campion and wood sorrel:
    Combine the essence of bladder campion, the essence of wood sorrel, and the gelespessa to fashion a rich, syrup-like liqueur.

  9. For the concentrated chard cream:
    Sauté the colorful chard with olive oil and a mere whisper of salt in a rondeau, allowing it to catch slightly at the bottom, then deglaze with drops of water to capture the elusive Maillard flavors. Once reduced almost to a paste and beautifully dried, blend in the Bimby to realize a smooth, deeply concentrated essence.

  10. For the plating:
    Cook the snail-shaped pasta in salted water for 8 minutes, toss it in the pan with the Parmigiano base, and finally bind it with the herbaceous sauce. Adjust with salt and a touch of acidity. Arrange five snails bound with the toasted chard cream at the base of the dish, cradle the dressed pipe pasta upon them, and dust with the wild garlic powder and wild garlic oil. Complete the composition with twelve leaves of fresh wood sorrel. Aside, serve the essence of bladder campion and wood sorrel within a pristine snail shell, to be poured over the dish to bestow a final, vibrant note of acidity.
