Butter Poached Lobster and Accompaniments

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Once melted, add the lobster tails and poach for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Heirloom Grits

    In a separate pot, bring milk to a simmer. Add the heirloom corn grits, stirring constantly. Cook for about 20 minutes or until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Roast the Baby Carrots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the heirloom orange carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cream Corn Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the cream corn over medium heat until warm. Blend for a smoother consistency if desired.

  5. 5

    Make the Chive Oil

    Blend chives with a bit of olive oil until smooth. Strain to remove solids if desired.

  6. 6

    Plating

    On a plate, spoon the heirloom grits, arrange the lobster tail on top, drizzle with cream corn sauce, place the roasted carrots on the side, and finish with chive oil.
