Lobster Bisque Base

Tarragon Oil

Bacon Snow

Method

Lobster Bisque Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and tomato paste

    Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add stock and seasonings

    Pour in the fish stock, then add the chopped lobster meat, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the bisque

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the bisque until smooth. Return to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Tarragon Oil

  1. 5

    Make the tarragon oil

    In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and fresh tarragon leaves. Heat over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the oil to infuse. Remove from heat and strain the oil into a clean jar.

Bacon Snow

  1. 6

    Create bacon snow

    Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and mix with cornstarch in a food processor until fine and powdery.
