You will need:
- 1 lobster, (cooked and shelled and separated into 2 claws and the tail cut in half)
- 1 bunch of lamb's lettuce
- 1 bunch of red lettuce
- 1 lime
- 1 mango , peeled
- A few sprigs of coriander
- salt
- pepper
For the vinaigrette:
- 1 large bunch of basil
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 100 ml water
- 4 tbsp olive oil
Step 1:
Bring water to a boil. Into the boiling water add the basil leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, remove and place onto a tray.
Step 2:
Put the water and sugar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat.
Step 3:
Into a blender add the cooked basil leaves and half of the syrup. Blend together until a purée is formed. Add the remaining syrup, the olive oil and finish by seasoning with salt and pepper. Blend once again to combine the ingredients.
Step 4:
Cut it in half and then into thin slices (be sure to discard the stone). Set aside for later.
Step 5:
Remove the top and bottom from the lime. Peel and slice it into segments.
Step 6:
Put the lamb's lettuce, red lettuce, coriander, lime segments and mango slices in a bowl. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of basil vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Step 7:
Heap a generous portion of the salad onto a serving plate. Add half a lobster tail, more salad and top with a little claw meat and a slice of mango. Finish by drizzling over a little more vinaigrette.
