Almond cream Pistachio Lobster


Almond cream Pistachio Lobster

Ingredients

4 royal prawn (Lobster) (caliber 5/7)
3.5 oz. pistachios
0.42 cups pistachio oil
3.5 oz. crushed almonds
1 egg yolk
1 oz. butter
0.42 cups prawn fumet
0.63 cups cream
2 tomatoes
1 flat parsley leaf
Ocean salt, pepper (mill)

Method

Prepare a pistachio cream. Smoothly mix the crushed pistachios with some prawn fumet and cream.
Decorticate and season the prawn. Keep the carcasses for the decoration. Glaze the prawn with yolk and cover them with the ground almonds.
Cook in clarified butter in a hot pan. About 1 minute from each side. The almonds must be gold-colored.
Prune the tomatoes for 1 minute in boiling water. Cut them into diamond-shapes and saute in butter.
Place some ground pistachios on the outer edge of the serving dish. Pour the pistachio cream in the middle of the dish and lay the prawn on top of it.
Decorate with a nice prawn carcass, some tomato diamonds for the color, a drop of pistachio oil and, to finish this dish, a green herb or grass.
