Best 5 New England Creamed Corn And Charred Lobster Chowder With Summer Truffles Recipes

ROASTED CORN AND LOBSTER CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cut the roasted corn off of their cobs, reserving the corn to add later. Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed soup pot. Add the corn cobs, the onion, celery, leek and peppers, and saute until the vegetables are soft, but not browned. Add the cumin, coriander, vanilla, salt and cayenne and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to release the flavors. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the reserved corn cobs along with the lobster body that has been tied in cheesecloth. Cook 40 to 45 minutes, remove the cobs and the lobster body. Add the hacked lobster and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes before stirring in the creme fraiche. Serve immediately.;

CHILLED MOUSSE OF PIKE WITH A TRUFFLE AND LOBSTER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 375 degrees F. Oil 12 (4-ounce) ring molds.
• In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, combine the fish, egg whites, Cognac, chives, shallots, lemon juice and nutmeg. Puree until smooth.
• Add enough cream so the mixture is smooth but slightly thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• To test the seasoning, bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add a teaspoon of the mouse to the water and poach for about 2 minutes. Remove and taste. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
• Fill each mold with the fish mixture.
• Place the molds in a baking dish and fill with water, enough to come up 1-inch of the mold. Place in the oven and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes or until firm. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Refrigerate until chilled. Slice the lobster tails, 1//4-inch thick. In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster, peas, and carrots. Toss with a drizzle of truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chervil and toss well.
• To serve, unmold the mousse and place in the center of each plate. Fill the center of each mousse with the lobster salad. Garnish with parsley.

LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Remove the meat from the shells of the lobsters. Cut the meat into large cubes and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Reserve the shells and all the juices that collect. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and set aside, reserving the cobs separately.
• For the stock, melt the butter in a stockpot or Dutch oven large enough to hold all the lobster shells and corncobs. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for 7 minutes, until translucent but not browned, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, cream, wine, lobster shells and their juices, and corn cobs and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and simmer the stock over the lowest heat for 30 minutes. (I move the pot halfway off the heat.)
• Meanwhile, in another stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and cook the bacon for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until browned and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the potatoes, onions, celery, corn kernels, salt, and pepper to the same pot and saute for 5 minutes. When the stock is ready, remove the largest pieces of lobster shell and the corn cobs with tongs and discard. Place a strainer over the soup pot and carefully pour the stock into the pot with the potatoes and corn. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the cooked lobster, the chives and the sherry and season to taste. Heat gently and serve hot with a garnish of crisp bacon.
