Rapana with Garlic Butter
Rapana, the large sea snail that settled in the Black Sea last century, sliced and fried in butter with garlic and white wine — a seaside tavern dish cooked hot and fast, because rapana toughens if left too long in the pan.

Steps
Steps
- 1Trim off the hard, horn-like disc at the foot and any dark remains of the gut, then rinse the meat well under running water to wash out any sand.
- 2Bring the water to the boil with the salt, drop in the rapana and blanch for 3 minutes, then drain — this firms the meat and makes it easy to slice.
- 3Cut the rapana across into slices about 5 mm thick.
- 4Heat the oil and half the butter in a wide frying pan over high heat until the butter foams.
- 5Add the rapana and fry for 3–4 minutes, tossing, until lightly golden at the edges — any longer and it turns rubbery.
- 6Add the garlic and the remaining butter and toss for 1 minute, then pour in the wine and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes, until it reduces to a buttery sauce.
- 7Season with the pepper, stir in the parsley and serve straight away with the lemon wedges.
