Steps:
- Place a roasting pan large enough to hold the lobsters in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. With the tip of a sharp knife pierce lobsters between the eyes to sever the spinal cord. Crack claws using the blunt edge of a cleaver or a hammer. Place lobsters in the hot roasting pan, drizzle with oil and roast until red, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside.
- Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in a small saucepan, add the shallots and saute over low heat until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine and vinegar, raise heat and cook at a moderate boil until the liquid is reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter, about 1 tablespoon at a time until all is incorporated. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the sauce, stir to combine and strain into a clean saucepan. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, and set aside.
- When the lobsters are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the claws. Detach the tails, and discard the heads. With a pair of scissors, cut the shell on the underside of each tail in half lengthwise, remove the meat and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Loosely cover the meat with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot, and add spinach and watercress. Stir until greens have melted down, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- To serve, reheat the sauce over low heat until warm, whisking constantly. Place a bed of greens on each plate, arrange the lobster meat on top and spoon the sauce over the lobster. Serve immediately.
FETTUCCINI WITH VANILLA BEAN LOBSTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Place lobster tails in a saucepan of well-salted water, cover and bring to a boil. As soon as the pan comes to a boil, turn off the heat and allow lobster tails to sit in hot water for 5 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. Drain lobster tails and let cool, just until they are cool enough to handle. Remove lobster meat from tails by gently cracking apart the underside of the shell, or carefully cut through shell with a pair of sharp kitchen scissors. Cut lobster tails on an angle into 1/2" slices and set aside.
- With the tip of a pairing knife slice open vanilla bean and scrape out seeds. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. While pasta is cooking heat a large skillet on medium high. Add butter to skillet and when it foams add vanilla bean seeds and pod and shallots and reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring for 1 munute. Add lobster pieces and continue cooking and stirring until lobster is cooked through and coated with butter mixture. Reduce heat to low and drain pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.
- Add hot pasta to skillet along with 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water, increase heat to medium and continue tossing mixture until sauce thickens slightly, adding a bit more cooking water if needed to nicely glaze pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper and arrange pasta on serving plates. Sprinkle with parsley and finishing salt.
LOBSTER WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE VANILLA BOURBON SAUCE
I've loved the combination of lobster and vanilla for decades. It's unusual, almost garish, but somehow it works. In this recipe, I've decided to add white chocolate to intensify the experience.

Steps:
- For the lobster: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the lobsters and cook until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and allow to cool to the touch.
- For the leek sauce: Saute the leeks in the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat until tender but still green in color, about 5 minutes. Add the whipping cream. Season with salt and pepper and reduce at a low boil until the liquid almost evaporates and a thick sauce forms. Reserve, keeping warm.
- Back to the lobster: Break the lobster down into its parts-claws, tail and body. Remove the meat from the claws and tail, and reserve. Break the bodies down into smaller pieces.
- Add the broken down pieces to a 12-inch cast-iron pan (reserve the tail and claw meat) along with the butter, celery and onions and heat over medium-high heat. Cook until the celery and onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the bourbon and white wine. Add the heavy cream and 1 cup water and allow to reduce for about 7 minutes. Carefully pour the mixture into a blender, shells and all, and blend until fully combined.
- For the leek sauce: Pour the lobster mixture through a chinois or very fine mesh strainer into the sauteed leeks. Add the scraped vanilla and bourbon and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Just before serving, mount the sauce with the white chocolate, stirring until just melted.
- Slice the tail meat into medallions. Put all the lobster in the bottom of a wide serving bowl. Top with the sauce.
SAVORY LOBSTER BREAD PUDDINGS WITH VANILLA CHIVE SAUCE
Steps:
- Make bread pudding:
- Fill an 8-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil. Plunge lobster headfirst into boiling water and simmer, covered, 8 minutes. Immediately transfer lobster with tongs to a large bowl and cool.
- When lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat in the following manner, reserving shells and body: Break off claws at body of lobster. Crack claws and remove meat. Twist tail off lobster body and with kitchen shears cut thin hard membrane on underside of tail to remove meat. Chop tail and claw meat and chill, covered, for bread pudding. Discard head sac from lobster body. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears chop or cut lobster body and reserved shells into pieces and chill, covered, for sauce.
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Cut enough of brioches into 1/4-inch dice to measure 2 packed cups and spread in one layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake brioche in middle of oven until dry but not golden, about 12 minutes. Finely chop white part of leek. Trim cremini stems flush with caps and discard shiitake stems. Cut cremini and shiitake caps into 1/4-inch dice.

Add mushrooms and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until tender and any liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated. Remove skillet from heat and add brandy. Carefully ignite brandy and cook over moderately high heat, shaking skillet, until flames die out. Continue to cook mixture, stirring, until any remaining liquid is evaporated and season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in lobster meat.
- In a large bowl whisk together yolks, egg, cream, cayenne, and salt to taste and gently stir in brioche croutons and lobster mixture. Chill bread pudding, covered, until brioche is soaked with custard, 2 to 3 hours. Bread pudding may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

- With a knife halve vanilla bean lengthwise. Pour lobster stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl, pressing hard on solids, and transfer liquid to cleaned pan. Boil stock until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in tomato purée and bring to a boil. Stir in vanilla bean and cream and simmer sauce until reduced to about 1 cup. Season sauce with salt and pour through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Chill sauce, covered, while baking puddings. Sauce may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. and butter four 1-cup ramekins (4 by 2 inches).
- Divide bread pudding among ramekins and arrange in a roasting pan. Add enough hot water to roasting pan to reach one third up sides of ramekins and tent roasting pan with foil. Bake puddings in middle of oven 45 minutes. Carefully remove foil and bake puddings until a knife inserted in centers comes out clean, 15 to 25 minutes more. Remove ramekins from roasting pan and let puddings stand 5 minutes. Reheat sauce over moderate heat until hot and add chives.
- Run a thin knife around edge of each pudding and invert a plate over each ramekin. Invert puddings onto plates and turn right side up.
- Serve puddings with sauce.
