Going upscale with the Lobster Bisque/Cyberstalker Bisque:
Ingredients (multiply by 100 for the Cyberstalker version, except for
bodies):
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
4 lobster bodies (see Note about using whole ones vs. using one
cyberstalker)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup brandy
2 quarts heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat. Add onion,
carrot, celery, thyme and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, 5 to 7 minutes
until onion softens.
Add lobster bodies and tomato paste, and cook, stirring, 7 to 10
minutes, until lobster shells turn red.
Remove bay leaves and lobster shells. Crack shells if necessary, pick
off any lobster meat and return it to the bisque.
Pass bisque through a food mill, or puree in food processor. Return
bisque to saucepan and bring just to a boil.
If cooking over a gas flame, briefly remove pan from flame. Add brandy
and return to burner. Carefully ignite brandy to flambe the bisque. When
flame dies out, add cream. Bring to a boil and cook until desired
thickness is reached. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Note: If you buy whole lobsters. Remove tails, and use bodies for this
recipe. Reserve tails for another use (they freeze well) or cook them,
shred meat and use to garnish bisque.
Makes 8 servings.
Side Note to Fuzzy: If you use live lobsters and listen to them scream
when you drop them in, you can imagine it's your cyberstalker... Then
again, you could just adapt the recipe to the real thing and call it
Cyberstalker Bisque.
Makes 800 servings of delicious revenge (it's not necessarily true that
revenge is a dish best served cold...)
