Lobster Thermidor

Ini adalah gara2 tertengok lobster kat Blogresepi.com hasil masakan Ijan. Cik HB pon tengok sama, maka dia pon sama jadi terliur. Pagi esoknya lepas hantar anak2 ke kindy, kitorg pon pi la skodeng lobster kat EDEKA (pasaraya terdekat ngan rumah). Ada la frozen cooked lobster, ngan berat bersih 400g, harganya 11.99 Euro. Boleh tahan mahal! Tapi 'banker' kata for the sake of trying (sbb dah teringin sgt), moh le kita beli. Maklum la kalu kat Malaysia, lagi la mahal. Menu lobster kat Victoria Station (sebelah lobster je pulak tu) pon dah berharga RM70! Tu harga bape thn sudah...skrg tak tau la...

Tapi sy tak masak pon lobster tu hari tu. The next day pi REAL, alangkah sakitnya hati sbb tgk lobster yg sama dijual dgn harga diskaun 6.99Euro! Haih...tu la, x sabar sgt...tapi since sy x confident lagi nak masak lobster, cukup la dgn seekor dulu.

Disebabkan lobster ini ada cheese, double cream dan sebagainya, rasa mcm x sesuai utk digandingkan dgn nasi, so sy buat creamy mushroom & shrimp tagliatelle (resepi akan menyusul kemudian) dan avocado salad. Tapi sy tak buat pon garlic cream sauce mcm yg Ijan buat tu sbb sy dah tersgt malas selepas buat benda2 yg lain. Maybe next time.

Owh! Trust me, walaupun cuma frozen, lobster ini mmg sedap! Kami sedang berkira2 nak menangkap lagi lobster yg tgh dijual murah kat REAL tu...hehehe

Resepi di ambil dr Blogresepi (thank you Ijan!)

1 medium cooked lobster

2 tbs butter

1 shallots, finely chopped * sy guna 1/2 biji bwg besar

1 3/8 cups fresh fish stock * sy guna 1/2 kiub ikan bilis dihancurkan dlm 1.5 cwn air

1/4 double cream

1/2 Hot English Mustard * sy guna Deutsche Scharf Senf

1 tbs fresh lemon juice

2 tbs chopped fresh parsley

Salt and freshly grounded black pepper, to taste

1/4 freshly grated parmesan * sy guna shredded Emmentaler cheese

Method:

1. Cut the lobster in half lengthwise, and remove the meat from the claws and tail. Leave to one side. Remove any meat from the head and set aside. Cut the meat up into pieces and place back into the shell.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook and stir until tender. Mix in the fish stock, and double cream. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half. Mix in the mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper.
3. Preheat your oven’s broiler. I used 200′C.
4. Place the lobster halves on a broiling pan or baking sheet, and spoon the sauce over the lobster meat in the shell. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
5. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, just until golden brown. Serve immediately.
