Shell the lobster after cooking (you can keep the heads to make a sauce)

Cut 2/3 of the turnips into thin slices, blanch in boiling water then let them cool.

Peel and chop the remaining turnips, the carrots, green zucchini and squash into small 2mm (1/4 inch) cubes.
Cook the vegetables separately with olive oil and vegetable stock.

Prepare the dressing by emulsifying oil, sherry and honey together and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Combine the cooled diced vegetables with the lobsters cut into cubes and the chopped coriander. Dress with vinaigrette.

On serving plate, place the mixture in a 10 cm (4”) serving ring about 2 cm (3/4”) high then remove the ring and cover the preparation arranging turnip slices in a rose pattern.
Using a spoon, pour the sauce around the preparation.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves, slices of lobster and claws.

 

Pair it with the Tavel Dame Rousse du Domaine de la Mordorée.
