With lobster medallions?




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...

 

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

I suck at slaws, despite many attempts. I need a tried and true recipe. Perhaps with some grilled pineapple

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

With lobster medallions?

Absolutely.

You've never had Lobster Mac & Cheese? :shocked:

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. :laugh:

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

 

[CharredApron]

Thanks Bob! Gotta try it!

 

[CTSmokehouse]

Does it have to be a hot side dish. What about some kind of slaw. Would give it a decomposed lobster role type of feel.

I hope you mean deconstructed....Decomposed means Yuck!!!

Yours in BBQ,

The judges are local chefs from some of the finer restaurants in the area. They will be looking for Bite Through Shells for sure!

 

[landarc]

Blues Hog, cut with 25% Tennessee Red, wins everytime

it also comes in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and all the way down to 23rd

 

[boogiesnap]

jed'll need to wrap then.

 

[deguerre]

jed'll need to wrap then.

He'll still get DQ'd for foreign objects with the shells.

Yep, decomposed lobster. Nothing more appetizing than that! :crazy:

But then what should we expect from the guy that competed with PB&J Wings?


Deconstructed might work though. :thumb:
