* Pepper to taste
* Sugar to taste
* 1/2 cup olive oil

Cooking Instructions
To make sweetbread confit, combine sweetbreads with salt, herbs, spices, and garlic. Cure for 18 hours, refrigerated. Rinse and dry sweetbreads. Melt duck fat. Add sweetbread and stew at 180F for 25 minutes. Cool in fat. Remove and roll tightly in plastic wrap. Return to duck fat, press lightly, and chill. Remove, unmold, clean off fat, and sear quickly on all sides. Keep warm and slice for service.
Cook lobster in a court bouillon for approximately 20 minutes. Remove and cool. Break loose tail meat and dice. Break out lobster claw, remove soft bone.
To make salad, cut frisee, romaine, and mache into bite-size pieces. Toss with tomato concassee and herbs.
Combine all dressing ingredients. Bring to a boil and emulsify in a blender. Keep hot.
Place salad onto plates. Set two to three slices of sweetbread next to it. Sprinkle lobster dices over lettuce. Garnish with lobster claw. Just before service, pour boiling hot dressing over the salad.

Lobster Roll
Ingredients
* 4 oz. steamed lobster, chilled
* 1 tbsp mayonnaise
* 1/2 lemon, juiced
* 1 tbsp celery, diced
* 1 hot dog roll
Cooking Instructions
# Grill the outsides of the roll in butter. If you have a non top-split roll, grill the inside.
Toss the lobster meat gently in a bowl with the mayonnaise. Then, using half a lemon, squeeze lemon juice all over the meat and rinse off most of the mayonnaise. The lobster should be barely coated.
Pick the meat out of the bowl, letting it drain briefly, and load the roll.

Steamed Lobster
Ingredients
* 4 lobsters (at least 1-1/4 lbs each)
* 1 tbsp salt (better still, use seawater)
* Melted butter and/or lemon wedges
Cooking Instructions
Have ready:
Fill the bottom of a pot large enough to hold the lobsters with a good inch of water. Add:
Cover and bring to a boil. Add the lobsters and cover. Cook 1-1/2-pound lobsters for about 15 minutes, until they are bright red. Add 2 to 3 minutes for every 1/4 lb increase in weight; that is, steam 2-pound lobsters for 20 minutes, 2-1/2-pound lobsters for 25. (All of this assumes that the water continues to boil as you add lobsters; if you are cooking more lobsters or you leave the lid off for more than 30 seconds or so, add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.)
