Lobster Newburg Recipe


Lobster Newburg Recipe
I make this to serve along side the more prized tail meat dishes. With the cost of Lobsters, you try to make them go as far as you can.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped lobster meat
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups half-and-half (half milk, half cream)
  • 4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet blend in flour then gradually stir in half-and-half. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper and return return to hot mixture.
  2. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add lobster, sherry, lemon juice, and salt heat thoroughly, but do not boil.
  3. I serve this in small bread bowls or with toast points. It also makes a killer open face Lobster roll.
  4. Fun fact: Lobster Newburg was created by Ben Wenburg, who was a sea captain operating between New York and Cuba, and shown to Charles Delmonico in 1876, as a way to please his crew that was tired of eating Lobster. The now famed lobster dish was originally called Lobster a la Wenburg. After a disagreement with Wenberg, Delmonico continued selling the popular dish at his restaurant under the name Lobster Newburg, although some refer to it as Lobster Delmonico.
