Recipe ingredients
- Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) butter
- 3 dried chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) flour
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) fish stock
- 1 cup (250 mL) country style cream 15 %
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) medium-dry sherry or white wine
- 2 x 1 1/4 lb. (565 g) lobsters
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan
- To taste fresh parsley
- 4 patty shells
Preparation
In a pan, melt the butter; add the scallions and brown for 1 minute. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the fish stock, cream, sherry or wine, salt and pepper and let simmer for several minutes.
Add the lobster.
Fill the vol-au-vent pastries with the lobster preparation and put them in a casserole dish.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Brown under broil at 220°C or 230°C (425°F or 450°F).
Decorate with parsley and slices of lemon or star fruit.
Suggestion
Remove the lobster from boiling water as soon as its shell turns red. Cooking too long could harden the meat.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
