2 ounces chopped fresh cilantro

1 medium onion, diced
2 ounces plus 1/2 cup unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, minced

4 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • For the pico de gallo: Mix jalapenos, tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • For the roasted poblano sauce: Roast poblanos on a char-broiler until skin is black on all sides. Transfer to a pan and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes to further sweat the poblanos. Under running water, peel and clean poblanos and remove all seeds and stems.
  • Saute onion in 2 ounces butter until it starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add a cup of chicken stock to cool. Remove mixture to a blender and puree, then transfer to a saucepot. Add poblanos to blender in batches and puree, adding more chicken stock as needed to loosen, then combine with ingredients in the pot. Add cilantro, cumin, taco seasoning, salt and pepper to pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make a roux by adding flour to remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saute pan and cooking slowly to a golden hue, about 10 minutes. Thicken sauce to desired thickness by adding roux to pot.
  • For the enchiladas: Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
  • Cut lobster into medium bite-sized pieces and par-cook in white wine in a pan 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and divide into 3 portions. Cover a sizzle plate with 1 cup poblano sauce (save remainder for another use). Place corn tortillas on a hot grill or saute pan and warm about 10 seconds per side to soften, then remove. Form tortillas into 3 enchiladas with lobster and some shredded cheese. Place on sizzle plate and top with more cheese and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Bake, 5 minutes. Transfer enchiladas to a plate with a spatula, then push cooked sauce on top of enchiladas. Add a ramekin of pico de gallo on the side (save remainder for another use), a lemon wedge and a sprig of cilantro and serve.

Salt to taste if desired
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
1 tablespoon plus 4 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
3/4 teaspoon finely minced garlic

Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
Blue corn cakes (see recipe)
4 dill sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Plunge the lobsters headfirst into a large quantity of boiling salted water. Cook for 5 minutes and drain. Pierce the lobsters between the eyes and suspend them head down so that they drain further.

  • Meanwhile, combine one-quarter cup of the white wine, the cream, the vermouth, 1 tablespoon of shallots and one-half teaspoon finely minced garlic. Bring to a boil and let cook until the sauce is reduced to about three-quarters of a cup.
  • Cut the scallions on the bias into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Cut the celery on the bias into quarter-inch widths.
  • Heat the butter in a casserole and add the remaining 4 teaspoons chopped shallots and the remaining quarter teaspoon minced garlic. Add the scallions, celery, lobster pieces and remaining wine. Heat briefly. Pour the sauce over all and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the lobster meat is thoroughly hot. Add the cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, lemon juice and chopped dill.
  • Arrange 3 or 4 corn cakes on each of four plates. Arrange 2 lobster tail pieces and 1 claw in the center. Spoon an equal portion of the sauce over each serving. Garnish each serving with a dill sprig.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth velouté sauce, start with a roux. A roux is a mixture of equal parts butter and flour that is cooked together until it is smooth and bubbly.
  • When adding the liquid to the roux, do so slowly and whisk constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer but do not boil it. Boiling will cause the sauce to lose its smooth texture.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Velouté sauce can be used as a base for many different dishes, including soups, stews, and casseroles.

Conclusion:

Velouté sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are making a classic lobster enchiladas or a simple weeknight meal, velouté sauce is a great way to add flavor and richness to your dish.
