Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons Cognac
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
four 1 1/2-pound live lobsters
3 firm-ripe mangoes
1 cup finely diced celery
4 whole Belgian endives plus 12 leaves for garnish
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives plus 24 whole chives for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the yogurt, the Cognac, the ketchup, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and chill sauce, covered. Plunge the lobsters into a large kettle of boiling salted water and boil them, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer the lobsters with tongs to a bowl and let them cool until they can be handled. Crack the shells, remove the meat, and cut it into 3/4-inch pieces. Transfer the lobster meat to a large bowl and chill it, covered. The lobster cocktail may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance.
  • Halve the mangoes by cutting just to the sides of each pit and, using a 3/4-inch melon-ball cutter, scoop the flesh from the mango halves. (There should be about 2 cups.) To the lobster meat add the mango balls, the celery, the whole endives, trimmed and sliced thin crosswise, the minced chives, and the sauce and toss mixture until it is combined. Divide the lobster mixture among 12 chilled small glasses and garnish each serving with 1 of the endive leaves and 2 of the whole chives.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Best Lobster: Choose live lobsters with a dark blue or black shell and firm, opaque meat. Avoid those with loose or missing claws or discolored shells.
  • Cooking the Lobster: Steaming is the preferred method for cooking lobster, as it preserves the delicate flavor and texture. Boil the lobster only if steaming is not an option.
  • Chilling the Lobster: After cooking, immediately transfer the lobster to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the meat's texture.
  • Choosing Ripe Mangoes: Select mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch, with a deep yellow-orange color and a sweet fragrance. Avoid mangoes with green skin or bruises.
  • Preparing the Mango: Peel and slice the mango into thin strips or cubes, ensuring there is no remaining skin or pit.
  • Making the Cocktail Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
  • Assembling the Cocktail: Arrange the lobster meat and mango slices in individual glasses or bowls. Top with a spoonful of cocktail sauce and garnish with a sprig of cilantro or mint.

Conclusion:

The Lobster and Mango Cocktail is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, combining the sweetness of mango with the briny richness of lobster. Steaming the lobster ensures that its delicate flavor and texture are preserved, while the cocktail sauce adds a tangy and creamy complement. This elegant and refreshing dish is perfect for special occasions or as a luxurious seafood appetizer. Its vibrant colors and tropical flavors make it a stunning addition to any menu, leaving a lasting impression on your guests. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or simply seeking a unique culinary experience, the Lobster and Mango Cocktail is a must-try recipe that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.
