Makes:
4 whole sandwiches
Ingredients
For the Chili Lobster:
2 cups Lobster Stock (If you can't find Lobster Stock,
get seafood stock, which should be available at Whole
Foods or Fox & Obels)
4 (1 1/2 pound) Lobsters, (claws removed)
1/4 cup Sriracha
2 tbls. Low-sodium Soy Sauce
Juice of 2 Lime)
6 oz. (12 tbls.) Unsalted Butter, (divided
4 tbls. Canola Oil
Kosher Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 tbls. Tarragon (chopped)
8 slices of Tontina Cheese
4 slices Pullman Loaf or (other high-quality thick sliced
white bread (1" thick)
Procedures:
1. Cut the tails off the lobster bodies,
and into 1-inch pieces while the tails are still in their
shells
2.
Bring the Lobster Stock to a simmer and add the Sriracha,
soy sauce and lime juice. Piece by piece, whisk in 6 tablespoons
of butter until emulsified. Reduce the remaining sauce
until it slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.
3.
Toss the lobster tail pieces in oil with salt and pepper
and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cooked through. Place
the lobster pieces in a bowl and transfer to the fridge
until cooled. When the lobster pieces have cooled, pop
the meat out of the tails and set aside.
4.
For each sandwich take two slices of bread. Place one
slice of fontina cheese on top of the first slice, cover
the cheese with some lobster meat, sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon
of tarragon, cover with a second slice of fontina cheese,
and then top with the second piece of bread. Brush the
outer sides of each slice of bread with melted butter
and season with salt. Grill the sandwich on the T-fal
Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle and serve with a small bowl
of the chili sauce on the side.
