Chilled Lobster and Truffle-Dijon Aioli

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil.

  2. 2

    Add Lobster

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the lobster tails to the pot. Cover and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the shells turn bright red.

  3. 3

    Cool the Lobster

    Remove the lobster tails from the pot with tongs and place them in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of truffle oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and black pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined.

  5. 5

    Split and Serve

    Once the lobster tails are cooled, split them down the middle using a sharp knife. Serve chilled with lemon wedges and drizzle the truffle-Dijon aioli on top or on the side for dipping.
