Categories     Shellfish     Cocktail Party     Mayonnaise     Mango     Lobster     Cucumber     Summer     Jalapeño     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 36 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 1/2-pound) live lobster
2 thick seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped; at least 1 3/4 inches in diameter), cut into 36 (1/4-inch-thick) slices
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeño chile (including seeds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely diced peeled mango
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Garnish: thinly sliced fresh cilantro
Special Equipment
a 1 1/2-inch scalloped round cookie cutter (optional)

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.
