Festive Season Lobster Recipe

Bring something special to the table this festive season - try Tom's grilled southern lobster with salsa verde. 

Prep time 20 minutes. 
Cooking time 10 minutes. 
Preheat oven or grill to 200 degrees Celsius. 

Salsa Verde Ingredients

  • 2 cloves of garlic peeled
  • 1 bunch of dill roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch of mint leaves (no stalks) roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 lime juice & zest
  • 100ml olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 150gms of room temperature or almost melted butter

Salsa Verde Method

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth and sauce like. Scrape down the sides and blitz one final time.
  2. Add the butter and season to taste. Set aside.

Lobster Prep

  1. Buy two cooked lobsters from your seafood supplier – fresh is best.
  2. Use a sharp knife to cut in half – start at the head then cut through to the tail.
    (Tip: If you buy from a seafood shop, you can ask them to do it for you!)
  3. Clean away any broken shell, grit or mustard from the head cavity. Peel out the vein from the middle of the tail from the head to the tail.
  4. Get a baking tray and scrunch up an oversized piece of foil to sit the lobster halves in, shell down, cut side up.
  5. Season with salt & pepper.
  6. Spoon over the salsa verde.
  7. Grill or bake for 6-10 minutes depending on the size of the lobster and the ability of your oven/grill/BBQ.

Serve
With crusty bread, fresh lemon & lime, and a glass of your favourite Wirra Wirra white wine.


Merry Christmas!
