LOBSTER CORN FRITTERS

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (12 to 14 fritters)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 to 8 tablespoons (3/4 to 1 stick) unsalted butter
5 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups fresh corn kernels (2 to 3 ears)
12 ounces freshly cooked lobster meat, 1/4-inch-diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
2 teaspoons sriracha chili sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2/3 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and corn and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the lobster and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and whisk in the eggs and half-and-half, stirring until the mixture is smooth, like a thick pancake batter. Stir in the corn and lobster mixture. (The batter may be made up to an hour ahead and refrigerated.)
  • For the sauce, place the garlic, saffron, sriracha, lemon juice, mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until smooth.
  • To make the fritters, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. For each fritter, drop 2 rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Don't crowd the skillet or they won't brown evenly. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding butter as necessary. Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of sauce on the side.

LOBSTER PECORINO FRITTATA

Categories     Brunch     Bake     Steam     Lobster     Fall     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large Idaho potato
One 1 1/2- to 2-pound live lobster
12 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 red onion, finely diced
Kernels from 2 ears fresh corn
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Scrub the potato and prick it in several places with a fork. Place the potato on the oven rack and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, depending on its size. When the potato is soft, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Set a colander in the bottom of a deep, wide stockpot and fill the stockpot with water to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Salt the water generously. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, place the lobster into the colander. Cover the pot, lower the heat to a simmer, and steam the lobster for about 15 minutes. Remove the lobster from the pot and plunge it into cold water to stop the cooking. Let cool completely.
  • Once the lobster has cooled, remove the meat and cut it into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Without removing its skin, cut the potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/2-inch-thick half-moon slices.
  • Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Beat in the heavy cream.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the potato slices and turn the heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, continuously flipping them with a spatula, until browned. Don't worry-the potatoes won't fall apart from all the handling. Watch carefully and don't allow them to burn.
  • When the potatoes are nicely browned, add the red onion and corn. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are starting to color. To ensure that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, run a spatula along the edges and bottom to dislodge any vegetables that adhere to the pan.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the pan and allow to melt and begin to sizzle. Add the lobster and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs evenly over the mixture in the pan. Sprinkle with the Pecorino cheese.
  • Bake the frittata for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it begins to puff up slightly. It should still be a little runny in the very center. Allow the frittata to stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

600g new potato
2 tbsp light olive oil
1 onion , finely sliced
8 free-range eggs
2 tbsp finely snipped fresh chive
100g pecorino or parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Cook the unpeeled potatoes in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender when tested with the point of a knife. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into chunky slices.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based non-stick frying pan big enough to take all the ingredients, about 28cm. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and beginning to brown.
  • Meanwhile whisk together the eggs and chives. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper then add the cheese and whisk again. Heat the grill to moderately hot. Add the potato slices to the onions and then pour over the egg mixture. Cook over a low heat until the edges are beginning to firm up and the frittata is lightly set. This may take up to 10 minutes.
  • Place the pan under the grill. Don't place the pan too close to the heat or it will burn on top before the centre is cooked. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is a lovely golden colour. Serve hot or cold. This would be delicious with a mixed leaf and tomato salad.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your frittata. Use fresh, high-quality lobster, pecorino cheese, and eggs.
  • Don't overcook the lobster: Lobster can easily become tough and rubbery if it is overcooked. Be careful not to cook it for more than a few minutes per side.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the frittata from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the frittata from burning and will allow it to cook evenly throughout.
  • Don't flip the frittata too often: Flipping the frittata too often can cause it to break. Flip it only once, when the bottom is golden brown and the top is set.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Lobster pecorino frittata is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tender lobster, creamy pecorino cheese, and fluffy eggs, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
