Butter poached lobster tails

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Lobster Tails (6‑8 oz each, thawed if frozen, split lengthwise)
• 4 tablespoons Clarified Butter (Can use store‑bought ghee or melt butter and skim off milk solids)
• 1/2 cup Dry White Wine (Use a dry, crisp wine such as Sauvignon Blanc)
• 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (Juiced from about half a lemon)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme (Leaves stripped from stems)
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Kosher or sea salt)
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground)
• 200 grams Broccolini (Trimmed, ends cut off)
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (For sautéing broccolini)
• 200 grams Linguini (Cooked al dente, optional for serving)

Instructions

1. Clarify the Butter

   Melt the butter over low heat in the saucepan, then skim off any foam and pour off the clear liquid, leaving the milk solids behind.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Low heat

2. Prepare the Poaching Liquid

   Add the white wine, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper to the clarified butter. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑low, simmer

3. Poach the Lobster Tails

   Place the split lobster tails flesh‑side down into the simmering liquid. Cover and poach for 4–5 minutes, or until the meat turns opaque and is just cooked through.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑low, simmer

4. Finish with Lemon and Herbs

   Using tongs, carefully remove the lobster tails and place them on a warm plate. Stir the lemon juice into the poaching liquid, then spoon a little of the buttery sauce over each tail.

   Time: PT2M

5. Sauté the Broccolini (Optional)

   Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the broccolini and sauté, stirring occasionally, until bright green and just tender, about 4–5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium

6. Serve

   Arrange the lobster tails on plates, drizzle with the remaining butter‑wine sauce, and garnish with extra fresh herbs. Serve alongside the sautéed broccolini or toss the lobster meat with cooked linguini for a surf‑and‑turf pasta.
