Black pudding, scampi and white bean crumble with wild garlic crust
Item 1 of 1
James Mackenzie whips up a hearty dish of crispy black pudding, beans and langoustine in a creamy sauce, perfectly topped off with a wild garlic crust - all in season for the spring months. Scampi (or langoustine) previously had a bad reputation due to its association with frozen pub grub, but this fantastic recipe celebrates it in all its plump, sweet glory.
