Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cooked lobster (see tip below for video guide on how to prepare lobster), claws and tail meat kept separate from the smaller bits of meat
crusty bread , to serve
juice ½ lemon
100g cold butter , cut into cubes
small bunch chives , finely snipped
small handful basil leaves , chopped
110g bag of rocket
½ an avocado , stoned, peeled and sliced
leftover bits of lobster meat
juice ½ lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, warm the lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, swirling them into the lemon juice over a very low heat to melt them, adding a few more pieces until all the butter is used. Take the sauce off the heat, season to taste and keep warm.
  • To make the salad, gently toss the rocket, avocado and lobster meat together. Dress with the lemon juice and olive oil, and toss again until everything is mixed and coated.
  • To serve, stir the herbs through the sauce and pour into a ramekin or small bowl. Put the sauce on a plate and pile the large chunks of lobster meat on one side and the salad on the other. Bring the plate to the table to share - dip the tail meat, claws and crusty bread into the sauce.
