Lobster and Poaching Liquid

Method

Poaching the Lobster

  1. 1

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    In a large pot, combine the water, sea salt, juice of half the lemon, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and parsley. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Lobster

    Once the poaching liquid is simmering, carefully add the lobster to the pot. Cover and poach for about 8-10 minutes, or until the lobster is bright red and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Chill the Lobster

    Remove the lobster from the pot and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Serving

    Once cooled, crack the lobster shell and remove the meat. Serve chilled with lemon wedges and your choice of dipping sauce.
