Snail pie is a great opportunity to diversify your home menu with pastries in the original design in the form of a spiral. For this product, I made the dough (filo). It is a very long and laborious process, but worth it. It, like many other types of dough, can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, and then used for baking when needed. While you can replace it with puff pastry if you like, the baked goods will also be delicious. In this case, the dough does not have to be made on your own; it can be purchased at the supermarket. Thin Armenian lavash is also suitable for this recipe. In any case, all connoisseurs of gourmet cuisine will love this wonderful pie recipe.
For the filling in this recipe, minced pork is used. You can buy any kind of meat, though. It can even be combined with potatoes, carrots, eggplants. The pie will still be satisfying. However, the filling can be anything at all: cabbage, cheese, vegetable, etc. In addition, sweet pies can be cooked in a similar way, and berries or fruits can be taken as a filler. Thin airy dough combined with any filling will always be a win-win for any situation.

Step by step preparation of Italian meat snail pie:
1. Wash the meat, peel it from the film and pass it through a meat grinder with medium grates. Peel the onions and twist them as well. Peel the garlic and squeeze through a press. Season the minced meat with salt, ground pepper and ground nutmeg. Mix well.
2. Roll out the filo dough in a rectangular layer very thinly so that the font on the newspaper can be seen through it. Put the minced meat on one side of the dough along the entire length, forming it with a sausage with a diameter of 2-2.5 cm. You can find how to make filo dough on the pages of our website.
3. Gently roll the dough into a roll.
4. Take a round baking dish and place the minced meat roll on it, rolling it up with a snail.
5. Do a similar procedure with all the dough and minced meat, laying out the formed rolls, one after the other in the form of a snail. There can be any number of such spirals. It depends on the diameter of the pan and whether you want to make a large or small pie, beat the egg into a bowl and stir until smooth. You do not need to beat with a mixer, just loosen it with a fork.
6. Using a silicone brush, brush the egg over the cake. If the egg remains, just pour it on top of the dough. So the product will only hold better.
