How to cook Catalan lobster: original recipe

1. Peel and cut the onion and put it in a bowl with water and vinegar (1 part vinegar and 4 parts water) for at least 20-30 minutes to make it lighter and more digestible.
2. Immerse the lobster in a very large saucepan filled with water as soon as it has boiled and keep the lid closed. If you have purchased a live lobster, we recommend tying the claws with resistant strings so that it cannot pinch you.
3. When the lobster is cooked (it will take about ten minutes), remove them immediately and let it cool. At this point comes the most complex part: cleaning the lobster.

4. Take a poultry shear and cut the shell from the side of the belly as well as from the side of the back , then gently extract the whole lobster meat and cut it into pieces.
5. Break the claws with a nutcracker and, always carefully, remove them from the crustacean.
6. Finally, remove the soft part from the animal's head and place it in a bowl. Add the lemon, salt, oil and pepper and emulsify everything with a fork.
7. Cut the cherry tomatoes, drizzle them with a drizzle of oil and place them in a bowl or on a serving plate. Add the chopped lobster and the well-drained onion.
8. Finally, add the emulsion and bring to the table a traditional and delicious second course, perfect for special occasions .

Catalan lobster: wine pairing

What wine to accompany a recipe so rich in flavor? We count that we have to support a refined ingredient , the onion and tomatoes which contrast their sweetness with their acidity, and in general strong and persistent flavours.

For this reason, a good choice could be a fresh, still, citrusy or slightly savory white wine, such as a Soave Classico, but also a rosé, which goes very well with such a dish.

Catalan fish, shellfish and… Catalan lobster

If you want to think big, you can also prepare Catalan crustaceans, a dish that is also widespread in Italy , especially in Sardinia. You can use different crustaceans, such as prawns, langoustines, a lobster or a lobster and scallops .
