CHILI LOBSTER WITH TEXAS TOAST
At the chef Marc Forgione's restaurant Marc Forgione in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, this dish is served as an appetizer, with small cull lobsters used as the main ingredient. Made with bigger lobsters, though, and with copious amounts of toast, it is a sweet, fiery, buttery dinner of exceptional richness and excellence, a perfect pairing for dry Champagne.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400. Fill a large pot with salted water and place it over high heat until it comes to a boil. Poach the lobsters for approximately 5 minutes, then remove from water and place in an ice bath to cool them quickly. (Do not discard the poaching liquid.) Once they are cooled, cut off the claws, knuckles and tails and refrigerate them until ready to prepare the final dish. Split open the heads, and remove the tomalley, which is delicious to some but not so pretty in this dish. Lift the legs away from the shell to reveal the gills, and cut them out using scissors. Break the heads apart by hand into large pieces.
- Place a large, oven-safe saucepan over high heat, and add the oil, heating it until it shimmers and verges on smoking. Add the lobster heads to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste to coat the shells. Add the shallots, stir to combine and put the pan in the oven. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, or until well roasted.
- Transfer the pan to the stove. Add the wine and herbs, bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add 6 cups of the reserved lobster poaching liquid to the reduced stock. Simmer the stock for an additional 90 minutes, reducing it. Strain through a fine sieve.
- Make the chili lobster. Cut the tails into 1-inch pieces, then crack the claws and remove the meat. In a wok or a large skillet set over high heat, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil until just smoking. Add the ginger and onion and cook, stirring, for approximately 1 minute. Add the lobster tails, still in their shell, and the claw meat, turn heat down to medium and cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until hot. Add the stock, and return it to a boil. Transfer lobster pieces to a large serving plate, leaving the stock in the pan to reduce by half. Sprinkle the lobster with mint.
- To the reduced stock, add soy and Sriracha and whisk in 3 tablespoons butter, one tablespoon at a time. Add a squeeze of lime juice, and adjust seasonings. Toast the bread, butter it generously and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cut into triangles. Spoon sauce over the lobster and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve with toast
POACHED LOBSTER OVER CORN AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- For the lobster: Fill an 8-quart stockpot halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the wine, lemon juice, coriander, thyme, garlic and enough salt to taste like the ocean. Boil for 10 minutes.
- Add the lobster, cover the pot and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool. Crack the lobster and remove the meat from the claws, knuckles and tail; cut the tail meat in half vertically. Toss the lobster meat with a splash of red wine vinegar and olive oil. Set aside.
- For the salad: Drizzle some olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, swirling to coat the pan; heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden brown; remove the garlic. Add the tomatoes, corn kernels and zucchini, toss to combine, and season with salt. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst, just a few minutes. Toss with three-quarters of the basil chiffonade.
- Place the arugula in a bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and lightly dress with a splash of red wine vinegar and olive oil. Transfer the arugula to a plate, top with the corn and cherry tomato mixture and then with the lobster meat. Garnish with the remaining basil chiffonade.

Steps:
- Remove the claws from the lobsters. Carefully crack the claws, and remove the meat in one piece if you can. Remove the tail meat and chop it into 1-inch chunks. Set the lobster aside in the refrigerator. Coarsely chop the shells and reserve.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Raise the heat to high, add the wine, lobster shells, and corncobs, and cook until the wine has completely reduced. Add the 4 cups lobster stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the broth into a bowl, discard the shells and corncobs, and return the broth to the pot.
- Add 1 cup of the roasted corn kernels and cook until the corn is just tender, 15 minutes. Transfer the soup to a blender, in batches, and puree until smooth. Strain into a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the remaining 1 cup roasted corn kernels, and the chiles, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the heavy cream in a medium saucepan, bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the reduced cream to the chowder and simmer for 5 minutes. If the chowder appears too thick, add additional stock or water to thin it slightly.
- Add the reserved chopped lobster meat, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the chopped cilantro. Ladle the chowder into bowls and top each one with a few tablespoons of the relish, a lobster claw, and a few fresh cilantro leaves.
- Combine the corn, poblano, onion, lime juice, honey, and oil in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Steps:
- In two inches of water, steam lobsters approximately 12 minutes, until shells turn bright red and antennae can be pulled out with a sharp tug. Drain lobsters immediately, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shell lobster tails, remove black intestinal vein and slice tail meat into half-inch slices. Shell claws, but leave claw-meat intact. Set lobster meat aside in a cool place.
- Bring another pan of water to a boil. Shuck baby corn ears, and carefully drop into boiling water. Cook 1 minute, then drain and cool. Set aside.
- Holding peppers and chili with a long-handled fork, turn them briefly over a high flame. Alternately, place under a broiler, turning when necessary. When skin is blackened and peeling, place in a paper bag for 5 minutes. Rub skin off peppers and cut flesh in julienne strips.
- Wash all greens and dry carefully.
- Make dressing in a large bowl: Mix olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice and finely chopped marjoram. Turn salad greens in dressing and remove from bowl. Arrange greens on four dinner plates, alternating colors for presentation.
- Toss corn ears in dressing and remove. Arrange in spokes on greens. Place pepper and chili strips between corn ears.
- In the center of each plate, place an intact lobster claw, removed from shell. Arrange a quarter of the lobster slices around claw. Garnish with tomato halves and wedges of remaining lime.
- Pour extra dressing on lobster.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest lobster you can find. Live lobster is ideal, but if you can't find live lobster, frozen lobster is a good option. Just be sure to thaw the lobster completely before cooking.
- Cook the lobster properly. Lobster is best cooked by steaming or boiling. To steam lobster, place it in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the lobster for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the lobster is cooked through. To boil lobster, place it in a large pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and boil the lobster for 8-10 minutes per pound, or until the lobster is cooked through.
- Remove the lobster meat from the shell. Once the lobster is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, use a lobster cracker or kitchen shears to crack the lobster shell and remove the meat. Be careful not to break the lobster meat into too small pieces.
- Make the lobster salad. Combine the lobster meat with the mayonnaise, celery, onion, and tarragon. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the lobster salad. Lobster salad can be served on its own, or it can be used as a sandwich filling or as a topping for a salad.
