Lobster Stew With Roasted Red Pepper Potato Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters for 6 minutes. The meat should not be cooked all the way, only about 75 percent done. Cool and remove the meat from the tails. Dice into 1-inch pieces. Reserve the rest of the lobster meat for another use. Mix the tail meat with the citrus juices and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Add the celery, jalapeno, cucumber, arugula and onion to the lobster and let stand another 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the radicchio until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt. Slice the radicchio into coarse ribbons. To serve, make a bed of radicchio and spoon the ceviche right on top.

Steps:

• Lobster: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook 2 lobsters at a time until three-quarters done, approximately 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 large saute pans over high heat. Split the lobsters in half, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the lobster in the pan, flesh side down and cook until nicely browned. Turn over and cook shell side down for 1 more minute.
• Cava-Tarragon Butter Sauce: Place the shallots, Cava and vinegar in a medium non-reactive saucepan. Boil the liquid over high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Whisk in the heavy cream and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and add the butter, piece by piece, whisking well after each addition until all has been used. Season with salt and white pepper and add the tarragon.
• Risotto: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft. Add rice and cook for 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook until completely reduced. Add clam juice or stock and cook until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Add boiling water 1 cup at a time and cook until all liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Repeat until all water is used. Fold in the Salsa Verde and cook until mixture has absorbed most of the liquid. Fold in the herbs and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place tomatillos and garlic cloves on a baking sheet or small roasting pan, toss with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the tomatillos are soft about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size. Transfer the mixture to a food processor with the herbs and process until smooth.
• To assemble dish: Spoon risotto onto a plate and top with 1 or 2 lobster halves. Serve the Cava Butter Sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, garlic, and the 1 teaspoon kosher salt in an 8-quart pan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and stir over medium heat for 1 minute to dry the potatoes.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal and the parsley and mash everything together with a potato masher, leaving the mixture chunky.
• Whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Form the chilled potato mixture into 16 cakes about 3/4 inch thick. Put the remaining 5 tablespoons cornmeal in a shallow dish and coat the potato cakes in the cornmeal.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cakes, in batches, and brown them on both sides.
• Transfer the potato cakes to a baking sheet and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
