Best 3 Lobster Crostini With Buttery Tomato Champagne Sauce Recipes

LOBSTER CROSTINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster, and boil for 5 to 6 minutes, until bright red. Remove the lobster, extract the tail and claw meat from the shell, and dice it. Set aside.
• Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally, and squeeze the juice and seeds into a heavy 1-quart saucepan over low heat. Add the butter, whisking constantly, until it is warm and emulsifies with the tomato juice. Add the lobster meat to the saucepan, and set aside.
• Lightly toast the bread. Spoon some the lobster meat onto each piece, and slowly spoon on the butter mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of basil.
• Serve at once. Provide knives and forks because the crostini make for messy eating.

LOBSTER CROSTINI WITH BUTTERY TOMATO & CHAMPAGNE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• SAUCE: Cut 2 tomatoes in half and squeeze the seeds and juice into a small saucepan set over low heat. Cut the remaining tomato into very small pieces and add to the pot. Turn up heat to medium and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and 4 tablespoons butter and allow it to melt. Add champagne and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Pass blended mixture through a fine sieve into the same pot. Simmer over low heat until reduced by 2/3rd the original volume, about 40 to 50 minutes, until the consistency of tomato soup. Add remaining butter, a dash or two of Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce, and season to taste with a little salt and ground white pepper. You can also add a small squeeze of lemon if you like to brighten it up. CROSTINI: Cut lobster tail meat into small pieces. Lightly toast bread slices on both sides. Spread each slice with a teaspoon of hollandaise sauce and top with a lump or two of lobster meat. Drizzle with a teaspoon of the tomato champagne sauce and garnish with dill leaves. Season with a little black pepper and serve.

LINGUINE WITH LOBSTER IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the lobsters in one layer when they are added. Add the garlic and sweet pepper, and cook, stirring, until pepper softens.
• Add the tomatoes, parsley, pepper flakes, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil, and add the lobsters, shell side up. Cover tightly, and cook over medium-high heat about 1 hour or slightly longer. Remove the lobsters to a flat dish. When the lobsters are cool enough to handle, crack the shells, remove the meat, discarding the carcasses. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces.
• Add the brandy to the sauce.
• Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil, and add salt to taste. Add the linguine, and cook about 10 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Drain. Drop the pasta and lobster pieces into the tomato sauce and heat.
