How to make leek cannelloni with prawns and American cream:

  • Cut the onion and green pepper into brunoises (Small Square) and cook them in a pan over low heat until softened.
  • Once the onion and pepper are poached, add the peeled and chopped prawns.
  • Mix the fried prawns with a little flour and add a little milk to form compact dough.
  • With this dough we fill the leek cannelloni.
  • Season the leeks with the seafood sauce and lightly gratin them in the oven.
  • To make the seafood cream, cut the onion and leek into julienne strips (into thin strips).
  • We put them to cook together with the carrot and a little oil and salt until they soften.
  • Then add the tomato cut into wedges and the whole prawns, removing the eyes of the prawns with a knife, since once crushed in the cream small black dots would remain.
  • Flambé the contents of the casserole with cognac, add the rice and wet with 2 liters of fumet or fish broth.
  • Let simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Blend with a blender and pass through a food mill.
  • Next, we pass the cream through the fine strainer again so that no shells from the shellfish pass through.
  • Finally we add salt.
