White bean velouté with chorizo and langoustine
Chorizo and langoustines work very well together as ingredients – adding extra flavour when the oil rendered from the sausage is used to cook the langoustines. This is a great langoustine recipe from Phil Carnegie that also features a brilliant velouté made from white beans.
