Master Chef Lobster Cookoff

[deguerre]

I've got a tried and true recipe that's become a favorite over on the Left coast...

[Cast Iron Chef]

Grilled eggplant, some balsamic vinegar and maybe some Romona cheese.

Care 2 share?

[deguerre]

Do a search here on "Guerry's slaw"...









Oh, OK then.




Ingredients:One head chopped cabbage - no other vegies!
1/2 cup vinegar
6 tbs sugar
6 tbs EVOO
2 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp dried celery
1 ~ 2 tbs hot sauce to taste . (I've been using Sriracha lately)
Cooking Instructions:Combine vinegar, oil and other ingredients in a sealed jar and give it a vigorous shake. Pour over chopped cabbage and toss. Let sit in fridge for two hours or longer (Overnight if you can resist). Toss again before serving.

This will juice up quite a bit so you can use a slotted spoon to serve if you wish.

Do something light or something like mentioned earlier deconstructed lobster roll. Easting bacon wrapped lobster tail with risotto was probably good, but overwhelming with flavor and fat. Get some acid in the dish somehow, a bright side dish like a slaw would be awesome, with fennel, toasted sesame seeds, etc

Oh, and Jed. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of adding fresh pineapple and perhaps apple and some walnuts maybe to the slaw recipe for a change on occasion...

Bigmista makes a pineapple slaw. Perhaps a grilled pineapple slaw would be perfect.

I would do a mango and citrus salsa, with a lobster shell foam and micro shiso greens. I would also prepare a simple herb oil, along the lines of basil, shiso, pepper leaves and olive or grapeseed oil, use that for plating. Then, I would prepare a powdered of Togarashi to apply as a dust condiment.

[landarc]

But seriously...

Cut up some ripe mango and ripe sweet orange, into small cubes. Set aside.

Shave a medium heat red pepper into paper thin rounds, cure in sugar for 15 minutes.

Shave a shallot, a tiny one, salt for 10 mins, rinse thoroughly

Zest a lemon or key lime, reserve zest, mix juice and 2 tablespoons of a off-dry thite wine (think Moscato) with a touch of sugar

Combine all ingredients, Top with micro-greens, you want ones with a bit of a bite. Sprinkle with kosher salt, or better, some black salt. It will be beautiful, complement the lobster, contrast the bacon.

jed, who are the judges?

[landarc]

if they are CBJ's, you want a little tug to the meat, if they are guest judges, you want the lobster fall off the bone.

stop that you.

you know what i mean.

if it were ME, i'd deshell the tail whole and fan out parmesan crisps touched with wild clover honey to look like the tail.

sprinkle with rendered diced bacon and drizzled with a butter ,cream, and carqmelized onion sauce made with the crushed head and body of the lobster, strained.

if it's CBJ's dunk it in blues hog and walk with the win.

we're not helping you aqt this point are we?
