Categories     Appetizer     Mango     Lobster     Summer     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons Cognac
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
four 1 1/2-pound live lobsters
3 firm-ripe mangoes
1 cup finely diced celery
4 whole Belgian endives plus 12 leaves for garnish
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives plus 24 whole chives for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the yogurt, the Cognac, the ketchup, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and chill sauce, covered. Plunge the lobsters into a large kettle of boiling salted water and boil them, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer the lobsters with tongs to a bowl and let them cool until they can be handled. Crack the shells, remove the meat, and cut it into 3/4-inch pieces. Transfer the lobster meat to a large bowl and chill it, covered. The lobster cocktail may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance.
  • Halve the mangoes by cutting just to the sides of each pit and, using a 3/4-inch melon-ball cutter, scoop the flesh from the mango halves. (There should be about 2 cups.) To the lobster meat add the mango balls, the celery, the whole endives, trimmed and sliced thin crosswise, the minced chives, and the sauce and toss mixture until it is combined. Divide the lobster mixture among 12 chilled small glasses and garnish each serving with 1 of the endive leaves and 2 of the whole chives.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons horseradish
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons capers, minced
2 tablespoons minced cornichons
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 lemons, zest and juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Four 1-pound lobsters, cooked, cleaned, cut into 1-inch pieces, reserve 4 claws for garnish
2 large ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 romaine heart, finely shredded, reserve 4 small leaves for garnish
4 lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cocktail sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the remoulade: Whisk together the mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. For the salad: In a medium mixing bowl, add the onions and lime juice. Let stand for a few minutes. Add the lobster meat, avocados and cilantro. Mix together well and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the shredded romaine lettuce evenly into 4 martini glasses. Place the lobster avocado salad on top of the lettuce. Top with 1 tablespoon of cocktail sauce and remoulade sauce. Garnish with romaine hearts, lobster claws and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lobster: Opt for live lobsters for the freshest flavor and texture. Look for ones that are active and have a firm shell.
  • Properly cook the lobster: To preserve the lobster's delicate flavor, avoid overcooking it. Steam or boil the lobster until it turns bright red and the meat is opaque.
  • Cool and clean the lobster: Once cooked, immediately transfer the lobster to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. After it cools, remove the meat from the shell and remove the digestive tract.
  • Select ripe mangoes: Choose mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes with bruises or cuts.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil add a refreshing and aromatic touch to the cocktail. Use them sparingly to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
  • Chill the cocktail: This chilled cocktail is best served cold. Make sure to chill all the ingredients and the serving glasses before assembling.
