The schtuff:
Steamed and cooled meat from 2-3 lobsters
1 medium red onion, sliced paper thin
1 pound almost overripe tomatoes, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
15 basil leaves (I had to use dried)
10 mint leaves (sadly, I didn't have these)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Mix all ingredients together. Serve. Easy peasy!!
I served this along side the Brie Stuffed Latkes and a little garlic bread (yeah, we love our starches). Obviously this would be so much prettier (and tastier) had I picked up the fresh basil and mint.
Sounds easy enough... my Dad is a lobster fisherman, gotta remember this recipe in April when they are fresh!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! Lucky you! I just started to like lobster. Isn't it hard to have fresh mint, basil, cilantro, or parsley on hand? Unless you have a plant. I did get a mint plant that actually stayed alive! Basil goes too seed so quickly. Anyway sometimes you just have to imagine what it would be like...:D
ReplyDeleteI do buy a lemon and a head of garlic everytime I grocery shop so I will always have those on hand!
You said it all! Yum-EEE!!! Guess I'm too late for dinner, so sad.
