Preparation method
- Peel the langoustines and remove the digestive tract.
- Chop the langoustine tails into a coarse tartare.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chop the salted lemon peel into tiny dice.
- Run the kaffir lime over a fine grater twice; do this above the tartare to ensure that the essential oil and zest of the peel fall onto the tartare.
- Finally, add the olive oil and mix well.
Serving suggestions
- As a component in a cold starter, e.g. with fennel, celery, pumpkin or aubergine.
- As a tartare topping in a fish dish, heated briefly under the flame grill.
