Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Lobster
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobster and cook for 8-10 minutes until bright red and cooked through. Remove lobster and let it cool before cracking it open and extracting the meat.
Make Tomato Velouté
In a saucepan, heat the tomato velouté over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Prepare Umami Tomatoes
Dice the umami tomatoes and set aside. You can enhance their umami flavor by tossing them with a pinch of salt and letting them sit for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
Assemble the Dish
In a serving dish, place the warmed tomato velouté at the base. Arrange the lobster meat on top, sprinkle with umami tomatoes, and finally, top with lemon breadcrumbs.
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
