Lobster In Tarragon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook lobsters:
• Bring water and sea salt to a boil in an 8- to 10-quart pot. Plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into water and cook, covered, over high heat 7 minutes from time lobsters enter water, then transfer with tongs to sink to drain. Return water to a boil and cook remaining 2 lobsters in same manner.
• Make sauce while lobsters cook and drain:
• Melt butter and cool until just warm.
• Whisk together vermouth, vinegar, and yolks in a metal bowl, then set bowl over a small saucepan of boiling water and heat mixture, whisking, until warm. Add melted butter in a slow stream, whisking, then whisk in salt and pepper. Cook sauce, whisking, until thickened and registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and keep bowl in saucepan. Just before serving, stir in lemon juice and tarragon.
• Working from belly side, halve each lobster lengthwise with a sharp heavy knife or kitchen shears. Serve lobsters with sauce.

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Stir butter lemon juice and lemon peel in heavy small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Mix in chives and tarragon; season with salt and pepper. Set pan at edge of grill to keep sauce warm.
• Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to boil. Drop lobsters headfirst into water. Cover pot; boil lobsters 2 minutes. Transfer lobsters to work surface. Using heavy large knife or cleaver, split lobsters in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard gray intestinal tract, gills and sand sac from head. Leave any red roe or green tomalley intact if desired. Crack claws. Brush cut side of lobsters with 1 tablespoon butter sauce.
• Grill lobsters, cut side down, 4 minutes. Turn again so that cut side is down and grill until lobster meat is just opaque but still juicy, about 2 minutes. Transfer lobsters to plates. Brush lightly with sauce. Serve, passing any remaining sauce seperately.

Steps:

• To par-cook the lobsters: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook about 7 minutes; they will be about three-quarters done. Drain well and let cool. Cut in half lengthwise.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the cut-side of the lobsters with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred. Flip and continue grilling until lightly charred and heated through. Remove the lobsters from the grill and let cool slightly.
• Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just toasty.
• Remove the tail and claw meat from the lobsters. You can cut them, but just enough to give you about 2 very large pieces per bun. Drop them into the Lemon-Tarragon Clarified Butter and give them a good soaking. Spoon the lobster into the toasted buns and serve immediately.
• Melt the butter slowly in a medium saucepan over low heat. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour into a bowl, leaving behind the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom of the pan.
• Put the clarified butter in a large saute pan over low heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and tarragon, and season with salt, pepper and cayenne if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Remove and discard the rubber or wood claw holders from lobsters.
• Bring the water to a vigorous boil in a large kettle and drop the lobsters into it. When the water returns to the boil cook the lobsters for exactly 2 minutes and drain. Arrange the lobsters shell side up in one layer in a baking pan. Place in the oven and bake exactly 12 minutes.
• Break off the lobsters' claws. Crack the claws in several places. Place the lobster carcasses shell side down on a flat surface and crack each lengthwise to cut them in half. Pull away and discard the tough sac at the beak end of each lobster. Scoop out the soft mass (the tomalley, coral, liver and so on) from the inside of each lobster. Spoon and scrape this into a saucepan. Save any juices and add these to the saucepan.
• Add the shallots to the saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring.
• Arrange the lobster halves shell side down in one layer on a baking pan. Pull and discard the upper half of each claw shell. Add the remaining claws to the baking pan.
• Add the cream to the mixture in the saucepan. Add salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Add the lemon juice. Cook about 2 minutes.
• Line a saucepan with a sieve and pour the mixture into the sieve. Rub with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 1 cup. Discard the solids.
• Put the sauce on the stove and bring to the simmer. Swirl in the butter and tarragon.
• Spoon the sauce over the cut portions of each lobster and serve.

Steps:

• Fill a 6-quart pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil. Plunge lobsters headfirst into water and boil, covered, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer lobsters with tongs to a colander and drain head down to remove excess liquid.
• Finely chop shallot. In a small saucepan melt butter with shallot, tarragon, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange lobsters on a platter and using kitchen shears remove thin, hard membrane from underside of each tail by cutting just inside outer edge of shell.
• Spoon some tarragon butter over each lobster tail and serve remainder on the side.

Steps:

• In a large, microwave-safe plastic bag, arrange lobsters head to tail. Twist the top of the bag shut. Cook in a 650- to 700-watt oven at 100 percent power for 8 minutes. Carefully remove from oven. Drain any liquid that has collected in the bag into a bowl. Remove lobsters from bag and allow to cool while proceeding with the recipe.
• In a 2-quart souffle dish, melt butter, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir in onion and cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Whisk in Worcestershire, mustard and Tabasco. Set aside.
• Holding the lobster over the bowl, separate the head from the body. Using a spoon, scrape out tomalley and roe into the bowl, being careful to avoid the brain sac. Holding the feelers, squeeze the head to extract juices. Remove meat from tail and claws. Dice the tails. Reserve claws whole for garnishing.
• Add cream and chicken broth to onion/butter mixture. Heat, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 4 minutes. Whisk tomalley, roe and reserved juices into cream mixture. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 4 minutes. Add tarragon and reserved lobster tail meat and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from oven. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss with hot fettucine. Garnish with reserved claws. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut lobster tails lengthwise with poultry shears. Cut open claws to allow sauce to reach the meat.
• Combine butter, lemon juice, onion, parsley, garlic, tarragon, and hot sauce in a bowl. Slather meat with sauce and place face-down on the preheated grill.
• Cook until lobster begins to char, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until meat is opaque and firm, 5 to 6 minutes more.

Steps:

• Cut open the lobsters and remove the meat, reserving the tomalley and coral.
• Melt 2 oz (50 grams) of the butter in a pan, add the onion, celery and carrot and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add the lobster meat and cook until lightly browned, then season.
• Add half the brandy and cook until has evaporated, then add the mustard and tarragon.
• Pour in wine, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from heat, transfer the lobsters to a plate and keep warm.
• Strain cooking liquid into a clean pan.
• Chop the tomalley and coral a add to the pan with the remaining butter, remaining brandy a lemon juice.
• Cook over a medium heat until slightly reduced, season.
• Serve the lobsters covered with the sauce. Serves 4.
