Ginataang suso or snail with coconut milk is an exotic Filipino dish. There are many kind of snails that can be cooked. When I was young my grandma used to cook ginataang suso but at that time I didn't dare to eat it because that kind of snail was slimy so only consumed the soup. When I get married and live in Mindanao where my husband's place is I got to taste another ginataang suso but this time it's another kind of snail. I must say it was a delicious kind of snail. It's not slimy unlike those large snails that my grandma used to cook. I love eating that kind of snail.
Few weeks ago my husband bought another kind of snail from someone pass by where he work. This is my first time seeing this. He said these were freshly picked from the Agus River. A river that is very far from where we are. He told me that this is delicious especially when cook in coconut milk. So I washed it, prepared the needed ingredients then cook for our lunch.
Here are the ingredients needed:
- Snail
- Coconut milk
- Horseradish
- Ginger
- Lemon grass
- Onion
- Garlic
- Oil
- Seasoning granules
- Salt
Procedures
- Heat the wok and when it's heated add oil to sauteed the spices.
- When the oil is hot put the garlic next onion and ginger. Sauteed them altogether.
- When the garlic turned brown, I put the snails. Mix it and I added the second extract (1 1/2 cup) coconut milk and the lemon grass. I seasoned it with salt and seasoning granules. Then let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
- After I added a cup of the first extract coconut milk then simmer it again for another two minutes.
- Next, I added the horseradish then finalize the taste of the soup. Simmer it for a minute. Then it's ready to serve.
The cooked snail in coconut milk with horseradish. This was the first time that I eaten this and I can say it's really delicious. My boys and my husband loved it so much. Can't wait to cook this snail again. I miss the taste of it.
