List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, minced
2 tablespoons roasted, minced garlic (available in jars packed in water)
2 cups water
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup Chardonnay
1 1/2 tablespoons lobster base (see note)
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
Dash of dried thyme leaves
Dash of ground basil
1 tablespoon melted butter and 1 tablespoon flour cooked for 1 minute to make a roux
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 pound slipper lobster meat (see note)


Recipe



In large, heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add water, cream, Chardonnay and base. Cook over medium heat 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not let mixture boil.

Add spices, then slowly stir in roux. Add tomato paste and cook at low temperature 30 minutes, or until mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon.

Just before serving, cut warm, cooked lobster meat into cubes and add to bisque. Make 4 servings.

Notes: Lobster base is available at specialty markets.

Slipper lobsters are very small lobster tails (without shells) that are frozen. They are available at specialty food stores such as Grasch Foods. Thaw, then boil or bake. Keep warm until ready to add to bisque. You will have to purchase about 11/2 pounds uncooked slipper lobster meat to get 1 pound of cooked.
