Snails In Spicy Sauce

Preparation:

Preparation: Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the garlic cloves over moderate heat until they brown, then remove them and put the washed, boned and chopped anchovies in the bowl. Let them cook until they are undone, then add the tomatoes, peeled, de-seeded and cut into strips, and the chopped chilli pepper. Let the sauce thicken a little over low heat, then season it with the necessary salt, a grind of pepper and some chopped mint leaves and add the snails. Let the molluscs flavor in the sauce for about 30 minutes over moderate heat, then serve with slices of homemade bread.
