I am in the enviable position of having about a pound of cooked lobster
meat. I am looking for dinner recipe ideas, preferably something that is
not laden with a lot of cream and butter. Any favorites?

Since it's already cooked it's sort of problematic since you really don't
want to cook it more. Overcooked lobster meat becomes rubbery. Maybe add
it to a nice salad?

Wow, I'm jealous. I'd probably make thermador or a bisque or a butter
garlic sauce, but that's not what you're asking for.

What about a pasta salad? Or just over a green salad? Stir-fry, fried
rice? Ramen, even. Double stuffed baked potato. Cioppino, bouillabaisse
(add at the end, obviously), you can even do a spaghetti with it.

I don't know, hope this helps.

That was my first thought, too, Jill.

Try this as a dip - it's amazing with shrimp & crabmeat. Should be fun with
lobster, too. Don't go nuts looking for creole mustard. Gulden's works fine,
or Grey Poupon. And the salt - that's nuts. Start with 1/4 that much. I
doubt you'll want to add more. The stuff keeps for a month or so. My son
says it's good with eggs, too, but he's a teenager who eats furniture, light
bulbs, scrap lumber.

Maybe make really thin slices of lobster and cucumber, stack on bland
crackers or little rounds of toasted french bread, with some of this on top.

Some Guy Named Tom's Remoulade


2 tbs wine vinegar

1/4 cup oil

1 tbs paprika

1/4 cup creole mustard

1 tbs red pepper

1 tbs salt

1 celery chopped

1 tbs parsley

1 small onion



Whisk in bowl or food processor.

I once made a recipe for lobster in an asian-scented sauce. IIRC, it
involved sauteeing some aromatic Southeast Asian-style spices such as
cardamom seeds, coriander seeds, fresh ginger and garlic and shallot, then
adding a cup or so of Gewurtztraminer and reducing it to a few tablespoons,
and finishing the reduction with some heavy cream. The cooked lobster would
then be added to the sauce and turned to warm, but not overcook. Very
important not to cook it further, IMHO.

And Felice makes three. Ain't much beats a good lobster salad unless (the
New Englander surfaces) it's a lobster roll.

Lobster Cantonese has been very popular for a long time. You could
adapt that to cooked lobster by making the sauce and then adding the
lobster at the end just to heat.

Mix 1 minced garlic clove with 1 TB fermented/preserved black beans,
chopped.
Mince 1 TB fresh ginger, chop 1 or 2 scallions.
Slice 2 more scallions for garnish and set aside.
Beat an egg, add 1/4 tsp sesame oil, set aside.
Stirfry the black beans and garlic in 1 TB hot oil for 30 seconds.
Reserve.
Add 2 TB oil to hot pan and stirfry ginger and scallions for 30
seconds. Add 1/4 lb. ground pork. Stirfry until all is brown and
well broken up. Add 1 TB sherry, 1 TB soy sauce, the black bean
mixture, and 1 cup of light stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low,
cover and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Raise heat to medium, add lobster
to sauce mixture and cook until lobster is hot. Thicken slightly with
cornstarch slurry.
Finally, add sliced scallions and slowly pour in the egg. Stir about
30 seconds, serve with steamed rice. -aem

I had lobster the other day too :-) I made it with a low fat white sauce
packed full of mushrooms over pasta. However, I boiled my own live lobsters
and didn't have to worry about reheating as you do.

Oh you lucky duck! (Ack!! I almost made a typo there subbing an i for
the u... wouldn't that have been awful!) Anyway, I'm thinking lobster
rolls (not the sushi kind) since the meat is already cooked. Sorry I
don't have a recipe as I've only ever eaten them out.

Lobster roll.

Lobster
onions
celery (perhaps)
salt and pepper

The right kind of roll. And whatever mayonnaise you prefer.

I thought crab/lobster sushi generaly used cooked meat? Same for beef,
shrimp and eel. It's usualy just fish meat (with maybe some other
exceptions) that is raw, isn't it? I have only had sushi a couple dozen
times and never home made, I'm no expert.

Lobster salad with a vinaigrette rather than a mayonnaise?

cover the bottom of a bowl with lightly seasoned and shredded lettuce,
cover this with the lobster, dress with a light vinaigrette, and
decorate with fillets of anchovy, capers, stoned olives, small quarters
or slices of hard boiled egg, small hearts of lettuce and a border of
thin slices of radish.

A lobster mayonnaise is good also.

I meant lobster rolls as in buns--- not sushi. It's a common "fast"
food on the New England shore when lobsters are plentiful. But I would
not use ordinary hot dog buns (ick!). They are so darn good but I do
not know a good recipe, sorry.

OTOH, it would be great in sushi too.

Yes exactly! I've also had them with lemon and cocktail sauce. Yum!

It would be fabulous on a croissant

An open-faced lobster croissant! Broiled. That does sound good.

No, I very carefully said 'whatever you prefer'. Seems there are some loyal
Miracle Whip users in this group (Yuk)!

Thanks for all the ideas. I ended up making a sauce by sauteeing a small
amount of onion and garlic in fragrant olive oil, adding some dry
vermouth and letting it cook down a bit, then some diced tomatoes, and
at the end the lobster. Over thin spaghetti, it was very nice.

The real discussion should include whether or not Hellman's people and MW
people marry each other. And if so ...
