Adrian Leons Mango Lobster Ceviche Recipes

LOBSTER CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters for 6 minutes. The meat should not be cooked all the way, only about 75 percent done. Cool and remove the meat from the tails. Dice into 1-inch pieces. Reserve the rest of the lobster meat for another use. Mix the tail meat with the citrus juices and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Add the celery, jalapeno, cucumber, arugula and onion to the lobster and let stand another 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the radicchio until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt. Slice the radicchio into coarse ribbons. To serve, make a bed of radicchio and spoon the ceviche right on top.

LOBSTER CEVICHE WITH PASSION FRUIT

Steps:

• Dice the lobsters into large pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the onion, tomatoes, scallions, and orange segments.
• In a separate bowl, combine the mango nectar, lime juice, and the passion fruit juice. Add the juice mixture to the lobster mixture and season with cilantro, salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Arrange sliced mango and grapefruit segments on a plate and top with ceviche.

MANGO CEVICHE

Steps:

• Mix mangos, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, and lime juice together in a bowl.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the ceviche is completely chilled, at least 1 hour.

LOBSTER AND MANGO COCKTAIL

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the yogurt, the Cognac, the ketchup, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and chill sauce, covered. Plunge the lobsters into a large kettle of boiling salted water and boil them, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer the lobsters with tongs to a bowl and let them cool until they can be handled. Crack the shells, remove the meat, and cut it into 3/4-inch pieces. Transfer the lobster meat to a large bowl and chill it, covered. The lobster cocktail may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance.
• Halve the mangoes by cutting just to the sides of each pit and, using a 3/4-inch melon-ball cutter, scoop the flesh from the mango halves. (There should be about 2 cups.) To the lobster meat add the mango balls, the celery, the whole endives, trimmed and sliced thin crosswise, the minced chives, and the sauce and toss mixture until it is combined. Divide the lobster mixture among 12 chilled small glasses and garnish each serving with 1 of the endive leaves and 2 of the whole chives.
