LobsterÀl'americaine

Ingredients
2 2-pound live lobster
1-1/2 tbsp of chopped fresh or 1-1/2 tsp of dried, tarragon
2/3 cup of olive oil4 tbsp of butter
1-1/2 tsp of thyme1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bay leaf6 shallots or small green onions, finely chopped
2 cups of dry white wine4 tbsp of tomato puree
1 clove of garlic, finely choppedSalt, pepper, cayenne
8 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/3 cup of Cognac
4 tbsp of chopped parsley

Cooking Instructions

To clean: place the live Maine lobster on a work board or table and using a heavy, sharp knife and mallet, insert the point of the knife between the body and tail shells and drive it through to sever the spinal cord. When the lobster stops moving, turn it over on its back and split it lengthwise from head to tail, cutting it into two parts. Remove the stomach and intestinal tract but leave the grayish-colored liver and the roe, or "coral," if there is any. Then remove the claws and cut the tails in sections, cutting through where the shells are jointed. Wash well.
Heat the olive oil in a very large kettle and when hot add the pieces of lobster in shell. Toss them about in the hot oil, using a pair of tongs, until the shells are colored red and the lobster meat is seared. Remove the lobster pieces to a hot platter and add the butter to the oil in the kettle. Saute the onion, shallots and garlic in the hot butter and oil until lightly colored. Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture. Then add the parsley, tarragon, thyme, bay leaf and wine, and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add the tomato puree and season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Pour the Cognac over the lobster pieces and ignite to blaze. Then return the lobster to the kettle to cook in the sauce, cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Lobster Stew

Ingredients
1 2-pound live lobster or 2 1-1/2-pound live lobster
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter1 quart milk

Cooking Instructions
The success of this is largely dependent upon the stirring and aging. Some old Maine Lobster authorities claim a stew should age as long as 4 or 5 days after making, but these are the extremists. It is best if aged for 5 to 6 hours before reheating gently and serving. Boil the live lobster. Immediately remove the lobster meat, tomalley, and (if there is any) coral. Scrape the thickish white substance from inside the shell as well. Cut the lobster meat in generous pieces. Saute the tomalley, coral, and the white substance in butter several minutes over rather low heat. Add the cooked lobster meat. Cook about 5 minutes over low heat. Cool 5 to 8 minutes. Then very slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Allow this to stand 5 to 6 hours before reheating and serving. It usually needs no salt. A little freshly ground black pepper is good added at the last to each serving.

In a medium-sized saucepan, cook the potatoes in the 2 cups water until completely cooked and very soft, about 25 - 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the water. Cut the potatoes into quarters and set aside.
In a large nonreactive pot, melt 4 teaspoons of the butter and saute the onions, celery, carrots, scallions, leeks, and both bell peppers over medium heat for 4 - 6 minutes.

considered very edible and delicious.
