Provided by Alex Hollywood

Categories     Fish Course, Starter

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chilled whole cooked lobster (about 450g/ 1lb)
3-4 medium new potatoes (about 175g/ 6oz)
85g fine green beans , trimmed
½ small radicchio (about 100g/ 4oz), leaves separated, washed and patted dry
1 tbsp pine nuts , toasted
small pack basil , leaves picked
1 small garlic clove , crushed
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To prepare the lobster, separate the claws from the tail. Crack the claws with a rolling pin and pick out the meat. Remove the shell from the lobster tail, cut the tail in half and discard the intestine. Break off the legs then roll a rolling pin over them to push out any meat. Cut all the meat into bite-sized pieces, cover and put in the fridge.
  • Put a small saucepan of salted water on to boil. Add the potatoes and simmer for 15 mins until cooked but not broken up. Lift the potatoes out of the water and leave to one side to cool. Add the green beans to the hot water and boil for 3 mins until just cooked. Drain the beans and run under cold water. Put the cooled potatoes and beans in the fridge to chill.
  • To make the basil dressing, blitz the pine nuts, most of the basil (saving a few leaves to finish), the garlic and red wine vinegar in a small food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The dressing should be fairly smooth but still have some texture. Season and set aside.
  • When you are ready to serve, cut the potatoes into 1cm-thick slices, put in a bowl and mix with half the dressing. Arrange the radicchio and green beans on two serving plates, top with the potato slices and finally the chilled lobster. Drizzle over the rest of the dressing, top with the reserved basil leaves and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
10 ounces slim haricots verts (green beans), trimmed at both ends and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 cup Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon imported French mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (do not peel)
1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 pound (2 cups) cooked lobster meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
Equipment: A 5-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander; 4 chilled large dinner plates

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
  • 2. Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the beans, and blanch until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the beans.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the beans. Plunge the beans into the ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible. (The beans will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. If you leave them longer, they will become soggy and begin to lose flavor.) Drain the beans and wrap them in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Store the cooked beans in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.)
  • 3. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard, and fine salt and whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning. Add the green beans, chives, apple, avocado, and lobster. Toss to coat. Arrange on the plates and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Cook the lobster meat perfectly. Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. Lobster is cooked when it is opaque and white throughout and the meat flakes easily with a fork.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. This recipe is just a starting point. You can add other vegetables, herbs, or even fruits to your salad.
  • Make sure to chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Lobster salad with green beans, tomatoes, and basil is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
