Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Sea salt
1 1 1/4-pound live lobster
2 fairly small ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in small pieces
2 center slices from a round sourdough country bread, each 1/2-inch thick and cut in two
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 small sprigs basil

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.

This recipe is a waste of time. The lobster was rubbery and the avocado was mushy. I'm never making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The lobster was a bit tough and the avocado was too ripe. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This lobster crostini recipe was disappointing. The lobster was overcooked and the avocado was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm not usually a fan of seafood, but this lobster crostini recipe changed my mind. The lobster was cooked perfectly and the avocado and lemon added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
