Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck and Prawns

    Score the skin of the duck breasts, season with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet, skin-side down, until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté prawns until pink and cooked through. Set aside with duck.

  2. 2

    Cook the Paella

    In a paella pan, sauté chopped leeks in truffle oil until soft. Add paella rice and stir for a couple of minutes. Pour in beer and enough water to cover, bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes until rice is almost done.

  3. 3

    Prepare Gobo

    Peel and slice gobo into thin strips. Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, then shock in ice water. Add to the paella for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Nestle the duck and prawns into the paella. Slice the brioche and toast lightly. Serve the paella garnished with jamon and toasted brioche on the side.
