Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Then, add the dry white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Stock and Cream

    Pour in the fish stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer for another 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Seafood

    Gently fold in the lobster and crab meat, cooking until just heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Truffle Oil and Season

    Drizzle in the truffle oil, and season the bisque with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped chives just before serving.
