Potato Crust

Couscous Risotto

Method

Potato Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Season and Cook

    In a bowl, mix grated potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Couscous Risotto

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced shallots, sauté until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 4

    Cook Couscous

    Add couscous to the saucepan and stir for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add vegetable broth, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Finish with Cream and Cheese

    Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until creamy and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Lobster Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions, chopped carrots, and minced garlic, sauté until softened.

  2. 7

    Deglaze and Add Lobster

    Pour in white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes until reduced. Stir in the cooked lobster, season with salt and pepper, and add chopped parsley.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the creamy couscous risotto on a plate, top it with the lobster sauce, and add the crispy potato crust on top of the lobster sauce for texture.
