Here comes a recipe you might have seen on the blog before, since it was originally published a year ago. As I made the recipe again recently, I did a new shoothing for fun and refreshed the original pictures with the ones below. Just for you! A while ago, as I was invited for dinner at my friend Laurie’s in Paris, she cooked an amazing leek and mustard chicken crumble for me. I had no idea of the exact recipe she served but I love cooking experiments in the kitchen and somehow I figured I would find out a good way to whip it up. As I was freaking crazy about chorizo at the time, it turned out that I included a twist of chorizo to the recipe. Then I combined all the ingredients and relished the dish with some finely shallots. A new recipe was born!

I achieved a combination between a smooth texture and a crispy one, while the wholegrain mustard gives character to the recipe overall. A refined and savory dish that I would suggest serving with a dry white wine, a Riesling for instance.
