- 96.9 g northern lobster
- 48.3 g endive
- 42.6 g crème fraîche
- 4.2 g prepared horseradish
- 0.5 tsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt

Method
- 01Prepare the poaching liquid by bringing a small pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Gently poach the raw lobster meat for 3-4 minutes until it turns completely opaque, firm, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Immediately plunge into an ice bath to chill completely; drain well.
- 02In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and aerated.
- 03Separate the endive leaves, ensuring they are crisp and dry.
- 04To plate, spoon a dollop of the horseradish cream into the base of each endive leaf.
- 05Top each with a piece of the chilled poached lobster meat. Finish with a final touch of freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately while the endive remains perfectly crunchy.
