Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 chick lobsters (1 lb lobsters)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) white wine
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tsp white pepper
- 1 lb (450 g) butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Citrus Truffle Micro Greens
- 1 cup (240 ml) 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.
