Hot Lobster Canapes Recipes

LOBSTER SALAD CANAPES

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.
