Description

Experience the luxurious taste of butter-poached lobster, delicately flavored with citrus and truffle, served on a bed of vibrant micro greens.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 chick lobsters (1 lb lobsters)
1/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
1 pound butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
Citrus Truffle Micro Greens
1 cup micro greens (rainbow mix works well)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the lobsters and boil for 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the lobsters to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, pick the lobster meat from the shells and set aside.
In a wide, flat sauté pan, bring the white wine to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow it to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium and slowly whisk in the butter chunks, a few at a time, until a smooth sauce forms. Be careful not to let the sauce boil.
Add the fresh lemon juice, Kosher salt, and white pepper to the sauce, stirring to combine.
Gently add the lobster meat to the sauce, poaching it in the butter for about 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
To serve, arrange the Citrus Truffle Micro Greens on a plate and top with the butter-poached lobster. Garnish with additional micro greens if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, live lobsters. The ice bath is crucial to stop the cooking process and keep the lobster tender. If Citrus Truffle Micro Greens are unavailable, any fresh micro greens will work. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
