Ingredients
  • 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
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Method
  1. 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.
  2. 02In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and aerated.
  3. 03Separate the endive leaves, ensuring they are crisp and dry.
  4. 04To plate, spoon a dollop of the horseradish cream into the base of each endive leaf.
  5. 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.
