Steps:
- Plunge lobster headfirst into a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook lobster, partially covered, over moderately high heat 9 minutes from time it enters water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
- While lobster is cooling, cut each cucumber slice with scalloped cutter (if using), discarding trimmings. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (to taste), jalapeño, salt, and a pinch of pepper.
- When lobster is cool, remove meat from claws, joints, and tail, discarding tomalley, roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/4-inch pieces. Add lobster, mango, celery, onion, and cilantro to dressing and toss well.
- Top each cucumber round with 1 rounded teaspoon lobster salad.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh cilantro. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro, but reduce the amount you use by half.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the cilantro and other ingredients by hand.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the canapés tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more butter or cream cheese.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into desired shapes.
- Bake the canapés until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the canapés.
- Let the canapés cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
