- Lobster with Vanilla
-
- This is a recipe that my (Oz) mother-in-law gave me while we were in
- Florida. Not sure where she got it, but it's a photocopy of something.
-
- Live 1 1/2 pound lobster per person
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- Tomatoes, skinned and finely chopped
- A little wine or fish stock
- Butter
- Sherry
- Vanilla extract
- Cayenne pepper
-
- Cut the lobster in half. Crack the claws and cut the tail through the joints.
- Melt a knob of butter in a heavy saute pan, fry the onion and garlic gently.
- Add the lobster pieces and cook until they go red, before removing them to
- someplace warm. Now turn up the heat and add the rest of the ingredients,
- except the vanilla, buter and cayenne. Reduce the tomatoes until they're a
- bubbling mush, then turn down the heat and add the butter in bits and stir to
- stop the sauce from separating. Finally, add half a teaspoon of vanilla and
- a shake of cayenne. Pour the sauce over the lobster and serve with rice.
