Today I would like to show you a very simple but good recipe: "Leeks and Prawns Cake", by the great Spanish chef, Karlos Arguiñano.
These are the Ingredients (for 6 people): 4 leeks. 250 grams of prawns. 7 eggs. 400 millilitres of liquid cream. 1 seed bread. Butter and flour (for the mold). Extra virgin olive oil. Salt. Pepper. Nutmeg. Parsley.
For cooking the recipe, this is what you have to do: cut the bread, in thin slices, extending them, on the oven plate, and toast them until they are golden brown.
Wash the leeks, finely chop and poach, in a pan with oil. You have to poach them well, until they are very soft. Peel the prawns, cut them into pieces, add salt and pepper and add them to the pan of the leeks. Stir fry them briefly, and remove the pan from the heat.
Spread a long mold with melted butter, put a strip of baking paper lengthwise, so that it protrudes; put butter again and sprinkle with flour. Then add the leeks and prawns.
Beat the eggs, in a bowl; add salt; add the cream; grate a little nutmeg, on top, and mix well. Pour the mixture, in the mold, and bake it, in a bain-marie, at 180 º C, for 45 minutes. Then, let it temper, unmold and cut the cake, in portions.
Sauté the heads and shrimp shells, in a pan, with a small stream of oil. Crush and drain in a colander.
Serve the cake, with the slices of toast and the juice of prawns. Garnish the cake with some parsley leaves.
And, after all, this one must be the result:
Leeks and prawn cake
Well, I hope that you will like this recipe and hope that you will want to try to cook it.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
