List of Ingredients

4 lobsters (1 1/2 lb.) cooked
10 T. butter
1/2 C. finely chopped onion
10 cloves garlic minced
ground black pepper to taste
2 C. plus 2 T. Madeira
6 C. heavy cream
3 C. light cream


Recipe

Scoop the green tomalley (liver) from the lobster bodies. Set aside. Remove the lobster meat from the shells. Set the shells aside. In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the tomalley, onion, garlic, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of Madeira; sautŽ until the onion is soft. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, the heavy cream, light cream, and the remaining 2 cups of Madeira. Stir to combine ingredients. Add the lobster meat.

Tie the lobster shells in a cheesecloth bag and let soak in the stew. Simmer the stew on low heat for 3 to 5 hours or longer if time allows. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Before serving remove the cheesecloth bag, squeeze dry, and discard. Serves 4.
