Raoul's Escargot Ragout

Andi here.....

AHHHH to be back in SoHo just blocks away from the best restaurant in the world.....Raoul's.

Last night they debuted their new Autumn menu and boy was I a lucky girl! We ordered the Escargot Ragout appetizer which was a smash hit. Ingredients are as follows:

Anson Mills ricotta polenta
escargot (out of the shell)
wild forest mushrooms
whole garlic cloves
golden raisins
crispy parsley
stewed/cooked in a mini cast iron skillet

*Key Ingredient: Anson Mills ricotta polenta*

The creamy ricotta grits took the rich silky escargot to a whole new level of richness. Every bite was like a spoonful of ice cream that you allow to linger in your mouth until all melts away.
