LOBSTER BISQUE



Lobster Bisque image

This bisque is the best chance for a home cook to shine. Adapted from the recipe of the Carlyle's executive chef, James Sakatos, it contains one of the great kitchen cheats of all time: a method for imparting rich creaminess that in a lesser establishment would come from a roux of butter and flour or a handful of cornstarch. You may end up using it all the time.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
2 live lobsters, weighing around 3 pounds total
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup medium sherry
2 cups fish stock or clam broth
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1 cup heavy cream
Cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 1/2 inch of water. Stir in 2 teaspoons kosher salt and bring the water to a boil. Add the lobsters, cover with a tight-fitting lid and return the water to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a gentle boil and cook the lobsters until they are bright red, about 12 minutes. Remove the lobsters, reserving the liquid. When the lobsters have cooled slightly, place them in a bowl and remove the meat from the claws and tail, again reserving any liquid that comes out of the shells. Chop the meat and refrigerate. Roughly chop the shells into small pieces and reserve, along with all the lobster remains.
  • Swirl the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the vegetables and herbs. Sweat until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, then increase the heat to medium-high and add the lobster shells and remains. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, then add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the sherry, then ignite or cook until the alcohol has evaporated. Add fish stock and 1 cup of the lobster-cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Strain the broth through a colander, pressing down hard on the solids to extrude as much liquid as possible. Wipe out the pot and pour in the broth. Add the rice and cook for at least 30 minutes, or until the grains are cooked to extreme softness.
  • Blend the bisque in a food processor or blender, then pass through a fine sieve, again pressing down hard on what solids remain. Add the cream and bring to a low simmer. Add the chopped lobster meat, let it heat through, then season to taste with salt and cayenne.

LOBSTER BISQUE



Lobster Bisque image

Rich and flavorful Lobster Bisque is an easy recipe to make at home. Succulent tender pieces of meat served in a puréed cream base soup.

Provided by Krissy Allori

Categories     Soup

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

16 ounces lobster tails (I used four 4-oz sized tails)
15 ounces seafood stock (okay to use water instead)
4 cups water ((I just filled the 15-oz can twice))
1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence ((aromatic blend of dried herbs including rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, savory, sage and lavender))
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup yellow onion (finely chopped (1 medium sized onion))
1 cup carrots (peeled and finely chopped (3 medium sized))
1 cup celery (finely chopped (4 medium sized stalks))
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
lobster stock (strain and use all of it)
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Split lobster tails lengthwise with sharp kitchen shears. Remove meat and set aside. Add empty shells to stockpot or 4-qt sauce pan. Cover with seafood stock and water. Add Herbes de Provence and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat as low as you can while still maintaining a simmer. Allow to simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the lobster meat, cover with lid, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove when meat is bright red and white. If any part is still translucent, continue to simmer until cooked. Remove meat from pot and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into small pieces and refrigerate until ready to add to bisque.
  • While the lobster stock is cooking, you can begin to make the bisque at the same time.
  • Heat butter over medium high heat in a large pot. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Stir to coat in butter and cook until soft, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  • When vegetables are just about done and begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, add garlic, stir to combine, and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, stir well to coat vegetables, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle over flour over mixture, stir well to combine, and cook while stirring frequently to prevent burning for an additional 2 minutes. The mixture should really start sticking to the bottom of the pan and turning brown. Do not allow it to burn.
  • Add wine to deglaze pan. Stir well with a flat bottom wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan. Allow in wine to simmer for several minutes. The liquid will reduce and the mixture will become thick.
  • Set a fine mesh sieve or strainer over your pot and pour the lobster stock through the strainer into your pot. Discard shells. Stir broth into bisque base until well combined. Reduce heat to lowest setting to maintain a gentle simmer and allow to cook for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Stir occasionally during this time.
  • Remove bisque from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup right in the pot. Alternatively, transfer to a blender to purée and then return bisque to pot.
  • Add heavy cream and chopped cooked lobster pieces to bisque and stir well. Heat over medium-low heat until bisque is heated through. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.

LOBSTER BISQUE



Lobster Bisque image

My grandmother would make lobster bisque all the time, so it's always been a comforting recipe to me. If you don't care to cook live lobsters, they can usually cook it where you buy them. Just be sure to tell them to keep the shells; they are key to this delicious soup! -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor
