Lobster

This week we had a Bloom grocery store open up near us. We decided to do our shopping there this weekend especially because they were having a lot of awesome sales. I went with a grocery list as I always do. However there was an addition to that list of lobster- they had lobster on sale for $6.99 a lb. That is really cheap for around here so I could not resist.

Meet Larry and Curly - they look delicious don't they. So one of my favorite lobster dishes that Chris and I have cooked together is from the French Laundry cookbook. Butter-Poached Maine Lobster with Cream Lobster Broth and Mascarpone-Enriched Orzo.

Here are a couple pictures of the lobster broth in process as well as the de-shelled lobster. The lobsters are steeped so you can remove them from their shells but leaves the meat mostly uncooked so it pulls in more flavor when you actually cook it. I leave the meat removal to Chris because he does it so beautifully.

And the final result. Quite delicious and very pretty on the plate- topped with a parmesan crisp.
