Preparation

Step 1

Lobster Gravy:
Ingredients:

1 stick + 1 Tbsp butter
1 lb lobster meat, roughly chopped
1 large onion, shaved or sliced thin
1/2 cup sherry
1 quart heavy cream
1 quart whole milk
1 Tbsp lobster base
1/4 cup flour
Fresh thyme
Salt
White pepper
Directions:

Sweat onions in a tablespoon of good unsalted butter and cook until they are translucent. Add the sherry and deglaze pan. Add the cream, milk, and base and whisk until you have lobster gravy. Heat to a simmer.
In a separate pot, melt the butter. Then, stir the flour into the butter to make a roux. Cook it until you start to smell a nutty aroma and then and remove the pan from the heat. Whisk the roux into the simmering gravy and allow it to thicken before turning the heat off. Season with fresh thyme, salt, pepper, and taste it.
