method

For the dried morcilla wafers

Bake the morcilla for 25 minutes at 190°C. Remove the skin and adjust the salt. Mash to form a purée. Keep back 50 g for the sauce. Spread very thinly on a sheet of baking paper and cover with another. Leave to dry at 60°C.

Once dry, cut into small wafers using a round cutter Reserve and keep dry.

For the morcilla sauce

Mix the 50 g of the morcilla purée, a pinch of tomato and the anise. Check the salt.

For the carabineros tails

Lightly season the tails and add a pinch of ginger. Rub them with the morcilla sauce and sauté in the oil. Set aside.

For the leek tears

Boil the broth, leeks and gelatine together. Season.

On a plate covered with a transparent paper, deposit a few teaspoons of the liquid, which, on cooling, will coagulate. Remove the leek tears from the paper and place them in the mix of oil and vinegar. Season.

Smear some morcilla sauce on the base of a shallow dish and stand the prawns on the sauce. Lean a wafer against each and drizzle with the leek vinaigrette tears.
