Method

  • Brown the rhubarb, cut into small cubes, in a frying pan (2 minutes).
  • Add sugar and salt, put in the onion strips; cream then add the seeds from one vanilla pod. Cook gently, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • After boiling the potato, cut it in half. Roast it in the olive oil, fleshy side up. The potato should be crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
  • Brown the salted langoustine in fresh butter, in the frying pan.
  • Add the other langoustine, lightly salted and cut up, and cook for a few moments in the cream. It should be hot but raw.

Arrangement

Place the vanilla cream with langoustine on a flat dish, arrange the potatoes, roasted and langoustine the bouquet of flowers.

Langoustine and champagne is almost a Royal pairing the langoustine is delicate and smooth, with a hint of vanilla that is truly incomparable. The vanilla gives it warmth and elegance, which I think perfectly complements the brioche, buttery flavour of the champagne. I'd say an easy combination, an absolutely magnificent match
