LOBSTER & POTATO SALAD



Lobster & Potato Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds unpeeled small Yukon Gold potatoes (1 1/2-inch diameter)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons Champagne or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 cup thinly sliced scallions (6 to 8 scallions)
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced celery
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced red onion
1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, 1-inch-diced
1 lemon
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender. (I use a small bamboo skewer to test them.) Drain in a colander, cover the colander with a clean kitchen towel, and allow the potatoes to steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut them in quarters or halves, depending on their size, and place them in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, egg yolk, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil, making an emulsion. Stir in the wine and capers. While the potatoes are still very warm, pour half the vinaigrette on the potatoes and toss them gently, allowing them to soak up the vinaigrette. Stir in the scallions, celery, red onion and lobster and add enough vinaigrette to moisten. Reserve any remaining vinaigrette. Add the zest and juice of the lemon, the tarragon, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss carefully. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings and add more vinaigrette, if necessary. Serve at room temperature.

LOBSTER, AVOCADO, AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD



Lobster, Avocado, and Grapefruit Salad image

Categories     Salad     Low/No Sugar     Grapefruit     Lobster     Avocado     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-lb) live lobster
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pink or ruby-red grapefruit
1 firm-ripe California avocado
1 oz baby arugula (2 cups)
Coarse sea salt to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Plunge lobster headfirst into an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water . Cook, covered, over high heat 6 minutes (for 1 1/4-lb lobster) or 7 minutes (for 1 1/2-lb lobster) from time it enters water. Transfer with tongs to sink to drain.
  • When lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat from tail and claws, keeping meat intact. Discard tomalley, any roe, and shells. Chill lobster, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • While lobster chills, stir together shallot, lemon juice, and table salt in a small bowl and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Add oil in a stream, whisking.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruit with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes and transfer segments to paper towels to drain.
  • Halve avocado lengthwise, discarding pit. (Save 1 half, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for another use.) Halve remaining avocado half lengthwise and peel, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
  • Cut lobster tail meat crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Divide avocado and all of lobster meat between 2 salad plates and arrange grapefruit around them. Top with arugula and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt (if using) and serve immediately.

LOBSTER SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS, TOMATOES AND BASIL



Lobster Salad With Green Beans, Tomatoes and Basil image

This summery salad makes a fine celebratory lunch or cold supper and makes great use of seasonal vegetables. Everything is dressed with a bright basil vinaigrette. A dab of aioli on the side is a welcome option, too. The hardest part here is steaming the lobsters, but don't worry. It's easy - and economical - to do it yourself. Still, if the idea doesn't appeal, many fishmongers sell steamed lobsters for an additional fee. Or you can buy prepared lobster meat, though that's a bit more expensive. If you decide to do that, you'll need at least one-third pound per person.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) live lobsters
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns and 1 teaspoon allspice berries (optional)
1 or 2 small garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 loosely packed cup parsley leaves
1 cup green basil leaves, loosely packed, plus 1 small bunch green or purple basil, for garnish
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pound small green beans (haricots verts), briefly cooked and cooled
1 1/2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, cut into thick slices
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, halved and lightly salted
1 pound new potatoes, cooked and cooled
Arugula or salad leaves, for garnish
Aioli, optional (see Note)

Steps:

  • In a large pot or in batches, so as not to crowd them, steam or boil the lobsters in seawater or heavily salted water. Add the bay leaf, peppercorns and allspice berries, if you wish. Depending on their size, cook the lobsters for 13 to 15 minutes. (Ask your fishmonger for recommended cooking time.) Let lobsters cool to room temperature on rimmed baking sheets.
  • Using lobster crackers, kitchen shears or a mallet, crack shells and remove meat. Place the claw meat and knuckle meat in a container. Slice tail meat 1/2-inch thick and add to the container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Add garlic, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, parsley and basil leaves to a blender jar or food processor. Whiz until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Put cherry tomatoes in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and add 3 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss to combine. To another small bowl, add green beans and 3 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
  • Arrange lobster meat in the center of a platter or divide among individual plates. Surround with tomato slices, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon cherry tomatoes over the tomato slices. Scatter green beans artfully. Tuck eggs and potatoes here and there (or serve potatoes separately). Finish with arugula or salad leaves.
  • Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over everything. Garnish with the prettiest basil leaves. Serve aioli on the side, if using.

2 cups roughly chopped ripe tomatoes
2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup water
1 cup thinly sliced onions
3 black peppercorns
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
1 (1 1/2-pound) lobster
2 tablespoons minced shallot or red onions
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/3 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups Silver Queen (or other regional variety) fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears)
1 pint mixed tiny heirloom tomatoes, such as cherry, cherub, grape, or pear, of different colors and sizes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
8 Bibb lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water, and set it aside.
  • In a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven, or other heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine the chopped tomatoes, wine, water, onions, peppercorns, and tarragon sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered; then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Raise the heat to high, add the lobster to the pot, and cover the pot immediately with a heavy, tightfitting lid. Steam the lobster for 13 minutes, until it is bright red and the long feelers are easily removed from their sockets. Immediately plunge the lobster into the bowl of ice water, and let it cool for 5 minutes.

  • Cut the tiniest heirloom tomatoes in half, and quarter the larger ones. Add the tomatoes to the corn mixture. Add the lobster, tarragon, and parsley, and mix gently to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, gently mix the Bibb lettuce leaves with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, and season them lightly with salt and black pepper. Stack 2 lettuce leaves on each of four plates. Divide the lobster salad evenly among the lettuce cups, and serve immediately.

WARM BUTTER-POACHED LOBSTER SALAD WITH TARRAGON-CITRUS DRESSING



Warm Butter-Poached Lobster Salad with Tarragon-Citrus Dressing image

Meat from a single lobster, decadently poached in tarragon-citrus butter, then tossed in a vibrant tangelo dressing with tarragon leaves and citrus fruit, and then arranged over Bibb lettuce, is rich enough to share.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 live lobster (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 tangelo, tangerine, or orange
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 sprig fresh tarragon, plus 10 leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
4 leaves Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 2 tablespoons salt and the vinegar. Plunge lobster head-first into water; cook 3 minutes (meat will not be fully cooked). Transfer lobster to a cutting board.
  • Using a kitchen towel to protect your hands, twist off tail and claws; discard body. Twist fan off end of tail, and push meat out of shell. Alternatively, use kitchen shears to cut up length of tail, and pull shell away from meat. Cut tail meat in half lengthwise, and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside. Separate claws from knuckles; twist and pull off pincers, being careful to keep meat intact. With back of knife, crack knuckle end of claw to loosen shell. Gently remove whole piece of meat; set aside with tail. Using your finger or the handle of a spoon, push knuckle meat out of shell. Wipe any white residue off meat. Meat can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 hours ahead; bring to room temperature before poaching.
  • Remove peel and pith from tangelo using a sharp knife. Working over a bowl, carve out flesh between membranes, allowing segments to drop into bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl. Transfer juice in bowl to a separate bowl; reserve juice for dressing.
  • Put 1/3 cup juice into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and the tarragon sprig. Submerge lobster meat in the butter sauce. Poach until opaque and cooked through, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk 3 tablespoons warm poaching liquid into 2 tablespoons reserved juice in bowl; whisk in pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add lobster to dressing; toss gently to coat. Just before serving, add tangelo segments and tarragon leaves; toss gently to combine. Season with salt.
  • Arrange 2 lettuce leaves on each serving plate. Place lobster and tangelo segments on top. Spoon dressing over top.

1 Maui onion, very thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, or sweet 100 tomatoes or pear tomatoes
