Yield Makes about 36 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 1/2-pound) live lobster
2 thick seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped; at least 1 3/4 inches in diameter), cut into 36 (1/4-inch-thick) slices
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeño chile (including seeds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely diced peeled mango
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Garnish: thinly sliced fresh cilantro
Special Equipment
a 1 1/2-inch scalloped round cookie cutter (optional)

Steps:

  • Plunge lobster headfirst into a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water. Cook lobster, partially covered, over moderately high heat 9 minutes from time it enters water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
  • While lobster is cooling, cut each cucumber slice with scalloped cutter (if using), discarding trimmings. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (to taste), jalapeño, salt, and a pinch of pepper.
  • When lobster is cool, remove meat from claws, joints, and tail, discarding tomalley, roe, and shells. Cut meat into 1/4-inch pieces. Add lobster, mango, celery, onion, and cilantro to dressing and toss well.
  • Top each cucumber round with 1 rounded teaspoon lobster salad.

These canapes were a complete disaster. They were so bad that I had to throw them away.

I didn't like these canapes at all. The lobster salad was bland and the avocado was mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my canapes didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a little dry.

I thought these canapes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not a big fan of lobster, but I really enjoyed these canapes. The avocado and lemon helped to balance out the flavor of the lobster.
