LOBSTER STEW WITH A PASTRY LID
Maybe there is nothing better than a boiled lobster straight from the pot, easily managed for two people, with no more accompaniment than a little melted butter. But sometimes that is too simple a preparation. So how about lobster stew? Not difficult, and easier to eat. For a homey-sophisticated touch, though, we suggest this lobster stew with a pastry lid, finished with a shower of freshly snipped herbs. Here's how to make it.

Steps:
- Make the pastry lids: Put the flour and a pinch salt in a mixing bowl. With fingers, work half the butter (4 tablespoons) into the flour until completely incorporated. Add the remaining butter, leaving it in small chunks. Quickly stir in 1/4 cup ice water to form a somewhat sticky ball. Knead together briefly, wrap in plastic, and press to make a flat disk about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate overnight or for at least an hour. When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to a diameter of about 12 1/2 inches. Using an inverted bowl as a guide, cut two 6-inch diameter circles. (The remaining dough can be rerolled and saved for another purpose.) Mix egg yolk and half- and-half. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and paint lightly with the egg yolk mixture. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. (May be baked ahead, if desired, and reheated.)
- Make the stew: Place the lobsters in a large pot of rapidly boiling water over high heat. Cook for 6 minutes, then remove them and cool in a large bowl of cold water. Take the meat from the claws, tail and knuckles. (Discard the shells or use them for lobster stock.) Then cut the meat into roughly 1/2-inch chunks and set aside. Melt the butter in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and leek, season with salt and pepper, stir and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lobster meat, cayenne, thyme and lemon zest and stir together. Pour in the half-and-half and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the potato starch mixture and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Check the seasoning and adjust, then stir in the creme fraiche.
- Assemble the dish: Spoon the hot lobster stew into 2 deep bowls. Place a baked pastry lid on each. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley, tarragon, chives and celery leaves, and serve immediately.

- Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add lobsters and cook until shells are red but meat is not yet cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove lobsters; reserve cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, crack lobsters over a large bowl to catch liquid; separate meat from shells.
- Cut meat into bite-size pieces; set aside meat and shells separately. Combine liquid from shells with cooking water in a large measuring cup; you should have 3 cups liquid (add water if needed). Set liquid aside. If lobsters are female, remove roe; set aside. (The roe sac is dark green when raw, red when cooked. The lobsters are half-cooked, so it will be green with pink around the edges.) Discard soft, pale green tomalley.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is soft, about 5 minutes. Add lobster shells and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned in spots and very fragrant, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add brandy. Return to heat and cook until brandy has almost evaporated. Add lobster cooking liquid and thyme sprigs and simmer until liquid is reduced by one-third, 8-10 minutes. Strain stock; discard solids in strainer. You should have about 2 cups stock.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in same wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add roe, if using; mash and stir into butter until roe turns red, about 30 seconds. Add lobster meat; cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Add stock and bring to a simmer. Remove stew from heat; stir in half-and-half. Season with salt, a small pinch of pepper, and a dash of Tabasco. Let cool; cover and chill overnight to allow flavors to meld.
