Snails are one of the typical dishes of Sassari: large or small makes no difference... Here people love this typical dish so much that in the summer there is even a snail-eating race, called "Ciogghitta d'Oro".
Cooked with potatoes, garlic and parsley, with a broth reduction, or with a filling of breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese and tomato sauce, it’s always a unique experience. Especially when they are offered with Sassari's distinctive names: the tiny ones called Ciogga minuta (little snails), are boiled with garlic, and salt and then simply "succiadda" (sucked out of the shell). Larger snails, the Grossa Ciogga are prepared with a spicy sauce or baked with bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, and parsley. The Monzette are snails with a greenish shell and a white "cap”, and are sauteed with olive oil, garlic and parsley.
