Simmer gently until the mixture becomes dry. Add the chopped tarragon and allow the mixture to cool. Add the mixture to the guinea fowl paste. To make the boudin shape you will need clingfilm and a piping bag. Put the mixture into the piping bag pull out the clingfilm and double over. Pipe the mixture along the length of the clingfilm about 1in thick and 3in long. Fold the clingfilm over the top of the mixture and roll tightly tie each end. Repeat this five times. Dice four of the leeks into 1cm cubes and one of the leeks into julienne. Put aside until needed. To assemble the dish: take the boudins out of the clingfilm slicing them off with a sharp knife. Put the boudins on oiled baking paper and cook them in a 375Á‚°C oven for 15 minutes turning them every five minutes to even colour. Meanwhile blanch the diced leeks in boiling salted water. Pour cream into a saucepan and add the blanched leeks bring to the boil season and add chopped tarragon. Deep-fry the julienne leeks until golden. Put the creamed leeks into the centre of a bowl. Place a boudin on the top of the leeks. Place the crispy leeks on top of this. Garnish with chervil. Photo Á‚© Sam Bailey
