Apple Snails in Coconut Milk (Ginataang Kuhol)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Apple Snails in Coconut Milk or Ginataang Kuhol is a dish that can be enjoyed either as a main dish along with warm white rice, or as an appetizer. This dish is rich and flavorful. I added more chili pepper to provide additional spice to the dish. I like dishes in coconut milk to be extra spicy.

The apple snails used in this recipe (apple snails are also called golden mystery snails) were already cleaned and the shells were removed. These came frozen in a 1lb. package. It is a good thing for me because I saved some time cleaning them. However, I missed the thrill of trying to suck the sauce and meat out of the shell, which I usually do when I was in the Philippines.

I used more spinach for this recipe than I usually do. I cooked this dish for lunch and I like to have more veggies along with the tasty snails. Don’t worry if you add more spinach because these will compress later on and blend with all the other ingredients. If you like this to be more spicy, use hotter varieties of chili pepper. This scoville scale post can help.

    Quarter cup shrimp paste is way too salty, I reduced it by 50% so only 2 table spoons are plenty for 400ml of coconut milk is enough in my opinion.
