The first time I had this was in a little lobster shack on the Main coast the proprietor would not even hint at his recipe so I have played with this recipe for quite awhile until I found that original taste I was looking for and then went beyond to make it out of this world apparently other thougt so too, I have won 3 blue ribbons for this recipe in professional culinary competitions, so now I would like to share with you a taste of heaven called Lobster Mac and Cheese the ultimate comfort food
Ingredients
- 1 pound macaroni shopping list
- 1 (2 pound) lobster, split shopping list
- 1 small onion, diced shopping list
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 1 small clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 shallot, chopped shopping list
- 10 black peppercorns shopping list
- kosher salt shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 5 tablespoons flour, plus 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, or 2 tablespoons cornstarch and water shopping list
- 2 pounds grated cheese, mixture of gruyere, extra sharp cheddar, and Pecorino Romano shopping list
- 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large pot, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve, also reserve the water.
- Steam the lobster over the water for 3 minutes, then cool, remove the meat, and reserve both the meat and the shell.
- In a medium sauce pot, sweat the onions in 2 tablespoons butter, and remove. set aside in a seperate dish
- In the same pot the onions were in, scald the milk and add the garlic, shallots, and peppercorns. Add the lobster shells to create a fish stock. Bring the "stock" to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make a roux by combining 5 tablespoons of flour with 5 tablespoons of butter in a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. Cook until it thickens and develops a golden yellow color. Set aside roux.
- Strain the stock and return it to the pan. Once the stock begins to simmer again, start whisking the cheeses in slowly until fully incorporated (this will also thicken the sauce). Add the roux to thicken a little more, and then add the reserved onions and lobster meat. Toss the sauce with the pasta, and transfer it to a small baking dish. Top with bread crumbs, and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
