Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup blanched almonds
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any recipe, having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking will make the process much smoother and less stressful.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the lobster: Lobster is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque and tender. Overcooked lobster will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure your gazpacho is well chilled before serving: This will help to enhance the flavors of the dish.
  • Serve the gazpacho with a variety of garnishes: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

This white gazpacho and lobster brochette recipe is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The gazpacho is light and refreshing, with a creamy texture and a bright, acidic flavor. The lobster brochettes are perfectly cooked and tender, and they add a touch of luxury to the dish. Serve this dish with a variety of garnishes, such as croutons, diced cucumber, and chopped parsley, to add even more color and flavor.
