Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cognac
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces lobster meat, diced

1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
White pepper
4 prepared Vol au Vent shells (puff pastry shells, available frozen in most supermarkets)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Add the olive oil, then the lobster meat, mushrooms, shallots, tarragon, and white pepper, to taste, while stirring to combine ingredients.

  • Spoon reduced mixture into prepared shells, drizzle with remaining orange cognac sauce, and garnish with parsley leaves.

The puff pastry vol-au-vents were a bit too flaky for my taste. I prefer a more sturdy pastry.

I wasn't a fan of the orange cognac sauce. I think it overpowered the lobster.

I didn't have any cognac on hand, so I used brandy instead. It worked out just fine, and the sauce was still delicious.

I used a pre-made puff pastry dough to save time, and it worked out great. The vol-au-vents were still light and flaky, and they held up well to the lobster filling.
