Leek-battered langoustines
This fried dish provides for a surprising taste sensation thanks to the subtle addition of the leek. The trisol gives the dish a wonderfully crispy texture, and processing the batter with a siphon makes it delightfully airy. Can't find trisol? Just use an additional 80g of flour.
Makes 20 pieces.
