    Isabela on Grandview

    Recipe Introduction


    Lobster claw and knuckle meat is less expensive than the tail meat. Look for it at seafood shops, . The chipotle peppers, which come in a can, and Chihuahua cheese are available at food specialty shops.

    List of Ingredients




    # For the lobster filling: 8 ounces lobster claw and knuckle meat, cooked and chopped
    # 2 ounces (1/4 cup) tomato sauce
    # 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) chipotle adobe peppers
    # 2 ounces (1/4 cup) creme fraiche or heavy cream, more for garnish
    # Juice of 1 lime
    # 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) butter, softened

    For the chile sauce:
    # 4 ounces ( 1/2 cup) tomato sauce
    # 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) chipotle adobe peppers
    # 2 ounces ({1/4 cup) veal stock

    For assembly:
    # 4 corn tortillas
    # 4 ounces Chihuahua cheese, shredded
    # 3 premium caviars, such as American sturgeon, salmon roe and flying fish roe (optional, for garnish)

    Recipe



    To make the filling: Combine all ingredients well.

    To make the chile sauce: Combine all ingredients and heat until warm.

    Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

    To assemble: Dip the tortillas in the chile sauce (reserve some of the sauce for the assembly and garnish). Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas and roll them up.

    "Paint" 4 ovenproof serving dishes with chile sauce, and place the filled tortillas seam-side down on the sauce. Sprinkle with additional Chihuahua cheese. Bake for 10 minutes.

    Top with the reserved chile sauce, some creme fraiche and, if desired, the caviars.

    Makes 4 servings.
