Strain the tuscan kale very well, take the stems out and season with olive oil, salt and a splash of white winegar.
In a pan fry the langoustines with a bit of olive oil and make them gold but still raw in the heart and remove strait way from the pan. Seasons with salt.
Plating: put half spoon of chestnut purée in a center of bowl plate, put three rolled leaves kale around and put the langoustines on top as in the picture.
