Chiocciole a picchi pacchi

Chiocciole a picchi pacchi is a traditional dish hailing from Sicily. It consists of snails served with picchi pacchi sauce. The snails are purified, washed, cooked, and drained. The onions are sautéed in olive oil with the snails, tomatoes, black pepper, chili pepper, parsley or basil, and salt. The dish is simmered for a short while more, and then it can be served hot or cold, depending on personal preferences.
