Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 40 min.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Scrub and rinse 8 potatoes; choose medium to large ones.

Bake in the oven.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Peel 200 g cooked prawns and cut into small pieces.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Prepare ½ onion and chop finely.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Melt 30 g butter in a saucepan on medium heat, then add the chopped onion, salt and pepper. Cook for a minute or two while stirring.

Stage 5 - 20 min.

Pour in 500 ml dry white wine, stir well and leave to reduce by 3/4 on low heat.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Pass the reduced wine and onion through a fine strainer and only keep the liquid. Return this to the pan.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Pour the cream into the reduced wine and bring to the boil on high heat.

Turn down the heat and leave to thicken to the consistency that suits you.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Melt 30 g butter in a small pan on high heat, then sauter (fry while tossing gently) the prawns just until they begin colour slightly.

Set aside.

Stage 9 - 10 min.

The potatoes are cooked when they yield to the touch or when a knife blade passes through easily.

Cut a "lid" off the top of each potato (less than halfway down).

If necessary, slice a little off the bottom so that the potato stands firmly.

Do not turn the oven off.

Stage 10

Scoop out the potato flesh with a small spoon or pommes parisiennes spoon.

We will not be using the potato flesh in this recipe, so you can keep this for use in another dish, such as potato purée.

Stage 11 - 5 min.

Fill each potato shell with the prawn pieces and arrange on a baking sheet.

Stage 12 - 5 min.

Pour in the cream sauce and bake in the oven for 5 minutes.

You can put them under the grill to brown the tops.

Stage 13

Serve piping hot.

Remarks

It is not essential to strain the wine and onion mixture. Leaving the bits of onion will give a more rustic character to the sauce; it's a matter of texture.

And to drink?

The same wine as you used for the sauce. In keeping with origins of the dish, a Belgian white wine, such as an AOC Côtes de Sambre et Meuse.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, wthout the sauce.

Soft fruits in sabayon

This recipe is made by briefly cooking an assortment of soft fruits (raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries, currants...) with a little sugar to glaze them. They are served in a small dish, covered with a delicious sabayon which can be lightly "burned" on surface.

Leavened bread

It might be harder to achieve good results than with traditional yeast bread, but what a flavour! It also keeps better. This recipe is designed for baking bread in a wood-fired oven but, of course, you can use the conventional oven in your kitchen.

New tiramisu

This new version of tiramisu is easier, and in my opinion much better. You will certainly appreciate, like me, the light creamy taste, this time presented in brandy goblets.

Coconut tuiles

Delicate tuiles with coconut. Very thin, they are both crunchy and melt-in-the-mouth. Delicious on their own or to accompany an ice-cream or cream dessert, perhaps a sophisticated one like coconut-vanilla cream for Elsa .
