Flaming Lobster Pizza With Roasted Yellow Tomato Kalamata Olives Roasted Garlic Roasted Red Pepper And Basil Jicama And Carrot Cole Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a shaker with ice and add the vodka, vermouth and essence (add more or less essence based on how "dirty" you like your martini). Shake vigorously until the shaker feels cold, about 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lemon peel. Add a lobster claw, if using!

Steps:

• Shred the cabbage. Slice the scallions on the bias, into 1-inch strips. In a large bowl, mix together with the mayonnaise, sugar and hot oil and seasoning. Let sit overnight, or at least 4 hours.
• Mix in the peanuts before serving. Serve with the array of smoked fish, raw vegetables and pickles.
• ;
• Serve with bialy and pumpernickel.

Steps:

• Split the lobsters lengthwise using a large chef's knife. Pour the liquid into a small bowl, and remove the liver and set aside. Discard the stomach (the small sac behind the eyes). Remove the claws and the legs and set aside. Slice down through the tail meat and the shell at the point of the natural hinges. Slice the body into pieces of the same approximate size.
• Melt 4 ounces of the butter in a large heavy saucepan. When the butter starts to turn the color of a hazelnut, add the lobster pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the carrots, tomatoes and tomato paste, and cook over high heat for 10 minutes, turning lobsters often. Once they have turned red all over, remove the lobsters from the saucepan and set aside.
• Make the roux by combining the flour and the remaining butter in a separate saucepan. Stirring constantly, heat and mix until you have a light golden paste. Remove the roux to a small bowl.
• To the carrot and tomato mixture, add the shallots, and sizzle for 1 minute without burning. Add the Calvados, ignite, and when the flame dies out, add the cream. Using a whisk, add the roux mixture, and stir until smooth. Bring the sauce slowly to a boil.
• In a separate bowl, mix the reserved livers and lemon juice together, and add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the liver mixture to the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes. You may cook the sauce longer to reduce and thicken it. Once it has reached its desired consistency, add the parsley.
• To serve, place the lobster pieces on a plate to recreate the shape of the lobster and set the claws on each side. Pour the sauce over the lobsters.

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Add the cooked lobster meat and saute quickly, just to heat up the meat.
• Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the vodka. Return the pan to the heat, ignite the alcohol, and cook until the alcohol burns off and the flames die out. Keep the pan moving throughout this process so nothing burns. Season with salt and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl put vinegar, olive oil, garlic, two pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk to combine. Rinse your onion and add them to the bowl along with the tomatoes, thyme and basil. Toss all ingredients together and adjust seasoning. More salt and pepper as desired.

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons each lime juice and finely chopped dates or currants and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Cut 1 medium carrot and 1 pound peeled jicama into matchsticks. Add the vegetables to the date mixture, season with salt and toss to coat. Stir in some torn mint.

Steps:

• If using whole lobsters, cook them in abundant boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool, remove meat from tail, claws and knuckles, and chop into 1/2-inch chunks.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta.
• Meanwhile, pour olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook for 1 minute, without browning. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Add lobster meat, stir to coat, cook 1 minute, then turn off heat until pasta is ready.
• When pasta is al dente, drain, add to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and transfer to a warmed wide bowl or platter. Add basil, toss once more and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Combine the first 5 ingredients on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat. Roast until tomatoes are softened, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
