2 whole lobsters (1 3/4 pounds each)

1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon salt
1 recipe Garlic-Basil Dressing, recipe follows
5 firm ripe tomatoes, sliced
4 sprigs fresh basil, for garnish
1 clove garlic
1 shallot
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup canola, corn or vegetable oil
15 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Leave the pointed tips on the green beans, but snap off the stem tips. Wash. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. Drop in the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the beans and plunge them into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and refrigerate.

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil. Add the basil leaves and coarsely chop with several on/off pulses.

LOBSTER SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS, TOMATOES AND BASIL



Lobster Salad With Green Beans, Tomatoes and Basil image

This summery salad makes a fine celebratory lunch or cold supper and makes great use of seasonal vegetables. Everything is dressed with a bright basil vinaigrette. A dab of aioli on the side is a welcome option, too. The hardest part here is steaming the lobsters, but don't worry. It's easy - and economical - to do it yourself. Still, if the idea doesn't appeal, many fishmongers sell steamed lobsters for an additional fee. Or you can buy prepared lobster meat, though that's a bit more expensive. If you decide to do that, you'll need at least one-third pound per person.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) live lobsters
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns and 1 teaspoon allspice berries (optional)
1 or 2 small garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 loosely packed cup parsley leaves
1 cup green basil leaves, loosely packed, plus 1 small bunch green or purple basil, for garnish
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pound small green beans (haricots verts), briefly cooked and cooled
1 1/2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, cut into thick slices
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, halved and lightly salted
1 pound new potatoes, cooked and cooled
Arugula or salad leaves, for garnish
Aioli, optional (see Note)

Steps:

  • In a large pot or in batches, so as not to crowd them, steam or boil the lobsters in seawater or heavily salted water. Add the bay leaf, peppercorns and allspice berries, if you wish. Depending on their size, cook the lobsters for 13 to 15 minutes. (Ask your fishmonger for recommended cooking time.) Let lobsters cool to room temperature on rimmed baking sheets.
  • Using lobster crackers, kitchen shears or a mallet, crack shells and remove meat. Place the claw meat and knuckle meat in a container. Slice tail meat 1/2-inch thick and add to the container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Add garlic, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, parsley and basil leaves to a blender jar or food processor. Whiz until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Put cherry tomatoes in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and add 3 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss to combine. To another small bowl, add green beans and 3 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
  • Arrange lobster meat in the center of a platter or divide among individual plates. Surround with tomato slices, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon cherry tomatoes over the tomato slices. Scatter green beans artfully. Tuck eggs and potatoes here and there (or serve potatoes separately). Finish with arugula or salad leaves.
  • Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over everything. Garnish with the prettiest basil leaves. Serve aioli on the side, if using.

LOBSTER SUCCOTASH



Lobster Succotash image

If you take some liberties with traditional American succotash you can transform it from a side dish to a deluxe starter or even a main course. Fresh shelling beans, such as cannellini beans or cranberry beans, are available at farmers' markets from mid-to-late-summer. If you can't find them, use frozen limas.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 main course servings (or 6 appetizer servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups fresh shelling beans, from about 3 pounds in the pod
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound Romano beans, green beans or yellow wax beans, about 2 cups, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
1 cup okra, sliced in 1/2-inch rounds
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 cups fresh corn kernels, from about 4 ears
2 medium zucchini, diced, about 2 cups
1 cup green tomato or tomatillo, diced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
1/4 cup crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Put shell beans in a saucepan, barely covered with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. Beans may be cooked in advance, up to 24 hours ahead, and stored in their broth. (Skip this step if using frozen beans.)
  • In another pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add Romano beans and blanch for 1 minute, then drain and cool.
  • Put butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add okra and red pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add corn kernels, zucchini, shelling beans, Romano beans, green tomato and serrano chile. Season generously with salt and pepper and sauté gently for 5 minutes.
  • Add lobster meat, stir in crème fraîche, and simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Check seasoning and adjust salt to taste. Serve immediately, accompanied by brioche toasts, grilled polenta or grits, if you wish.

A shower of chopped fresh basil across the top finishes it off.

LOBSTER CHOPPED SALAD WITH FAVA BEANS, CHERRY TOMATOES, AVOCADO, CORN, AND APPLEWOOD-SMOKED BACON



Lobster Chopped Salad with Fava Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, Avocado, Corn, and Applewood-Smoked Bacon image

When I was growing up, my mom and sister were obsessed with lobster. My father and I just never got it. But on both their birthdays, my father would take us all to the chosen lobster spot of the moment. While Jessica and my mom happily cracked their way through dinner, hardly glancing up from their plates, Dad and I would glumly saw through our landlubber specials. I admit I felt a little envious watching Jessica and Mom picking apart their matching dinners, knowing that I would never have that lobster bond with my mother. Normally, my mother prefers her lobster plain and simple-steamed and served with lemon and drawn butter. But one Mother's Day, I took liberty, hoping to entice her with this rendition of a classic chopped salad. It worked; while we're still on opposite sides of the table at the lobster shack, we both get excited about this salad.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 live Maine lobsters, 1 3/4 to 2 pounds each
10-ounce slab applewood-smoked bacon
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups fresh corn (from about 2 ears)
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 ripe avocados
3/4 pint cherry tomatoes, mixed colors if possible
1 large head butter lettuce, leaves separated, cleaned, and dried
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons sliced green and opal basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Insert the tip of a large chef knife just below the eyes of each lobster-this will kill them instantly. Add the lobsters to the pot of boiling water, making sure they are completely submerged. Cook the lobsters 10 minutes, and then remove them immediately to a bowl of ice water.
  • When the lobsters have cooled, twist off the tails and claws from the bodies. Save the bodies for another use, or discard.
  • Place the tails on their sides, and crush gently with the heel of your hand to break open the shells. Carefully pull out the tails. Cut the tails in half lengthwise, and remove the intestinal tract and any green tomalley. Cut each half crosswise into six or seven pieces.
  • Use the back of a large not-precious knife to break open the shell on the claws. Remove the claw meat, and cut each claw into three or four pieces. Carefully crack the shells of the knuckles and remove the meat. You should have about 12 ounces of lobster meat total.
  • Slice the bacon into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange the bacon strips in two stacks, then cut the strips crosswise into 3/8-inch even-sided rectangles or lardons. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Swirl in 1 tablespoon olive oil, add the bacon, and cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bacon is tender and lightly crisped. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve the fat in the pan.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the corn, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Sauté over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, until the corn is just cooked and tender. Remove to a platter or baking sheet to cool.
  • While the corn is cooling, make the vinaigrette: Place the shallots, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the 1/3 cup olive oil and a pinch of cayenne. Taste for balance and seasoning.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit and peel. Dice the avocados into 1/2-inch cubes and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Place the lobster, corn, avocados, tomatoes, and bacon in a large salad bowl. Toss with 5 tablespoons vinaigrette and taste for seasoning, adding a little more vinaigrette if you like. Place the lettuce leaves on a large chilled platter and spoon a little vinaigrette over them. Toss the parsley into the lobster salad, and arrange it over the lettuce. Scatter the basil over the top.
  • You can boil and prepare the lobsters, make the vinaigrette, and sauté the bacon and corn ahead of time. Prepare the avocado and tomatoes just before serving.
