Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cooked lobster (see tip below for video guide on how to prepare lobster), claws and tail meat kept separate from the smaller bits of meat
crusty bread , to serve
juice ½ lemon
100g cold butter , cut into cubes
small bunch chives , finely snipped
small handful basil leaves , chopped
110g bag of rocket
½ an avocado , stoned, peeled and sliced
leftover bits of lobster meat
juice ½ lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, warm the lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, swirling them into the lemon juice over a very low heat to melt them, adding a few more pieces until all the butter is used. Take the sauce off the heat, season to taste and keep warm.
  • To make the salad, gently toss the rocket, avocado and lobster meat together. Dress with the lemon juice and olive oil, and toss again until everything is mixed and coated.
  • To serve, stir the herbs through the sauce and pour into a ramekin or small bowl. Put the sauce on a plate and pile the large chunks of lobster meat on one side and the salad on the other. Bring the plate to the table to share - dip the tail meat, claws and crusty bread into the sauce.

Yield Makes 2 (appetizer) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pound lobster
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
1 teaspoon water
3/4 cup olive oil, more for dressing greens
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lemon verbena, cut in chiffonade
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 large vine-ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 cups mesclun mix, pea shoots, or sunflower shoots
2 radishes, julienned
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large pot with 2 inches of salted water. Insert a steaming rack so that the lobster will not touch the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Add lobster and cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a platter and refrigerate to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a stainless steel bowl combine egg yolk and water. Whisk to combine. Add oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is emulsified and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add half of the verbena and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to let flavors combine.
  • 3. Once cooled, remove lobster meat from shell, leaving claw and tail meat intact. Using a chef's knife, slice tail meat into pieces 1/2 inch thick. Transfer claws and tail meat to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons dressing and tomato strips. Toss to coat.
  • 4. Place greens in a medium bowl. Drizzle olive oil them and season with salt. Toss to lightly coat. Place 1 cup tossed greens in the center of each plate. Divide tail meat and claws. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing on each plate around lobster. Garnish each plate with radish and remaining verbena. Serve immediately. (Remaining dressing should be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
  • Raw eggs should not be used in food prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.

Tips:

  • For the freshest lobster salad, use live lobster if possible. Otherwise, opt for high-quality frozen lobster meat.
  • Be sure to cook the lobster properly. Overcooked lobster will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of fresh, flavorful ingredients in your salad. This could include vegetables like celery, red onion, and cucumber; herbs like chives, dill, and parsley; and fruits like lemon and grapefruit.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good option, but you could also try a creamy dressing or a citrus-based dressing.
  • Serve the lobster salad immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lobster salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even a light lunch. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and creamy dressing, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that's both impressive and delicious, give lobster salad a try – you won't be disappointed!
