Coleslaw With Lobster Recipes

COLESLAW WITH CUMIN-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the dressing: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
• For the slaw: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, toss with the dressing and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

LOBSTER ROLL WITH SLAW

Steps:

• For the lobsters: Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Squeeze in the lemon and drop the halves in, then add the white wine, garlic, bay leaves, thyme bundle, crushed red pepper and some salt. Drop the lobsters into the boiling water, cover and cook for 11 to 15 minutes. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Remove the lobsters to the ice water to stop the cooking, then remove and let cool.
• For the lobster rolls: Remove the meat from the lobster claws, knuckles and tails and discard the shells. Coarsely chop the meat and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the celery, chives, lemon juice, celery salt and 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine well. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of mayo if you like the mix a little creamier (this is traditionally a very low mayo type deal). Taste to make sure the lobster is delicious; reserve.
• Toss the butter and garlic into a large saute pan and melt the butter. When the butter is melted, bubbly and very garlicky smelling, discard the garlic clove. Add the hot dog rolls to the pan and cook in the garlic butter on both sides until the butter is absorbed and the rolls are crispy on both sides.
• Divide the reserved lobster mixture among the 4 buttered rolls and serve immediately with the Red Cabbage Slaw.
• Place the cabbage in a large bowl, add the vinegar and season with salt. Stir to combine, then set aside for at least 1 hour. This will soften the cabbage and make it seem almost cooked but still with a great texture.
• Drain the cabbage and return to a large bowl. Add the carrots, onions, mayonnaise and mustard. Taste for seasoning; the final outcome should be a creamy and tart slaw. Serve cold or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.

LOBSTER WITH PEACH COLESLAW

Steps:

• To prepare coleslaw: In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and ginger. Add peaches, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
• To prepare lobster: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack in a large steamer (or a roasting pan filled with an inch of water) and bring water to a boil. Steam lobsters for 4 minutes. When lobsters are cool enough to handle, carefully remove meat from knuckles and claws so that meat remains intact. Break tails from bodies. Leaving tails in shells, cut tails in half lengthwise.
• Mix maple syrup with lemon juice, and set aside. Massage meat with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a glass baking dish with tail meat facing up. Bake for 4 minutes, or until meat has turned white and is no longer transparent.
• To serve, put egg yolk through a sieve, and dry it for 10 seconds in a microwave oven on high. In center of each of four plates, place a portion of peach coleslaw. Sprinkle coleslaw with egg yolk and chives. Remove lobster tails from their shells, and rub lobster with a little more olive oil. Arrange a lobster claw, knuckle and half a tail around coleslaw. Drizzle with maple syrup mixture, and garnish with chervil and curly parsley.

COLESLAW WITH LOBSTER

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half, slicing through the core. Cut away and discard the core and any tough or blemished outer leaves. Finely shred enough of the cabbage to make about three cups. Reserve the remainder of the cabbage for future use.
• Coarsely chop the cabbage shreds and put them in a mixing bowl.
• In another mixing bowl blend the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, onions, salt and pepper and stir in the lobster meat. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and toss well.

LOBSTER WITH ROASTED GARLIC-POTATO SALAD AND COLESLAW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss garlic with oil in small baking dish. Cover; bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool. Remove garlic from skin and mash in bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and cumin. Set aside.
• Steam potatoes until tender, about 13 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; cool. Add 1/2 cup onions, eggs, and 1/2 cup dressing; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss all cabbage, carrots, remaining chopped onions and remaining dressing in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Potato salad and coleslaw can be made 6 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate separately.)
• Drop lobsters headfirst into large pot of boiling water. Cover; cook until shells are bright red and centers are opaque, about 9 minutes. Using tongs, transfer lobsters, shell side down, to work surface. Place tip of large knife into center of each lobster and cut lengthwise in half from center to end of head (knife may not cut through shell); then cut in half from center to end of tail. Use poultry shears to cut through shell if necessary. Serve lobster halves with potato salad and coleslaw.
