Lobster With Mixed Vegetables Honey Coriander Sauce And Basil Olive Oil Sauce Recipes

LOBSTER SAUCE FOR PASTA

Steps:

• Stick a 6 inch skewer lengthwise inside the tail of each lobster. Bring the court bouillon to a boil, add the lobsters, and cook for about 6 minutes. Remove and shock in ice water.
• Remove the tail meat from the shells and cut each into 2 to 3 medallions. Set aside.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and garlic, and heat until the garlic starts to turn golden. Discard the garlic. Toss in the fresh tomatoes, add salt to release any water, and let cook about 10 minutes. Add the lobster stock and reduce to desired consistency, about 15 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and black pepper, to taste, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the lobster medallions and chopped parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Toss in the noodles, cook for 1 minute to warm, and serve immediately. BUON APPETITTO!!!!
• Cut off the dirty part of the roots of the leeks and make two incisions 1 inch from the root down the leeks. Wash the leeks under running cold water, and then soak in clean water for about 15 minutes.
• Cut all the vegetables into roughly 2 inches square. Heat an 8-quart stockpot over a medium-high flame, add the corn oil, and let it heat until just before the smoke point.
• Saute the vegetables until they become a gold color. Add the bouquet garni and saute for 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice (the acids needs to equal 10 percent volume of the stock), and saute another 2 minutes.
• Add the cold water and bring to a boil. Turn down the flame and let simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. Strain the bouillon into a clean stockpot.

GRILLED LOBSTER AND SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH SPICY HERBED BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high.
• In a food processor, combine the butter, garlic, jalapeno, parsley, lemon juice, and chives. Season with salt and pepper and process until well combined. Place in a small container. Remove a few tablespoons of the herbed butter and set aside. This reserved butter will be used to finish the lobsters and vegetables once they are off the grill and prevent cross contamination.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Place the lobsters in the boiling water and blanch just until the shells turn red, but the meat is not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove the lobsters and let cool slightly. Slice the lobsters in half lengthwise. Brush the meat and inside of the lobsters with some of the herbed butter, about 1 tablespoon per lobster half. Place the lobsters on the grill, flesh side down and cook until the meat has grill marks and starts to turn opaque and firm up, about 5 minutes.
• While the lobsters are cooking, start the grilled vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables and lemon wedges with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables and lemon wedges on the grill and brush with some of the compound butter. Grill until tender and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Turn the lobsters over and grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes, brushing with more butter, if desired. Remove the lobsters and vegetables to a large platter. Squeeze some of the grilled lemon wedges over the tail meat. If desired, serve with some of the reserved herbed butter.

LOBSTER PASTA WITH YELLOW TOMATOES AND BASIL

• If using whole lobsters, cook them in abundant boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool, remove meat from tail, claws and knuckles, and chop into 1/2-inch chunks.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta.
• Meanwhile, pour olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Add lobster meat, stir to coat, cook 1 minute, then turn off heat until pasta is ready.
• When pasta is al dente, drain, add to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and transfer to a warmed wide bowl or platter. Add basil, toss once more and serve immediately.
