Ingredients

• 2 lobsters
• 4 brioche buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• a few sprigs of chives
• 25 grams of butter
• 1 lemon
• black pepper
• fries (optional)
• salad (optional)

Preparation

Preparing lobster

Cut the two lobsters through the head. Then twist off the tail and remove the claws. To prevent the tail from warping during blanching, you can insert two skewers at the top of the tail (between the meat and the shell).

Removing the meat

Prepare an ice bath before blanching. Blanch the lobster tail and claws. Remove the tail after 1 minute. Remove the claws after 3 minutes. This will allow us to easily remove the meat later. Cool the lobster back in the ice bath and preheat the sous vide water bath to 54°C (130°F). After a few minutes, remove the lobsters from the ice bath. Remove the skewers and then the meat. You can remove the meat from the claws with scissors or a chef's knife.

Sous vide cooking

Place the lobster meat in a sous vide bag with the butter and some salt and pepper. Cook for 25-30 minutes at 54°C (130°F).

Butter sauce

Cut open the bag and collect the melted butter. Then add some salt and pepper and the juice of half a lemon.

Lemon mayonnaise

Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining half of the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cut the lobster into desired pieces and add the mayonnaise.

Sandwiches

Place the buns in the oven for a few minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Don't have brioche buns? Brush them with butter before baking. This will still give them that rich buttery flavor.

Serve

Remove the rolls from the oven and slice them. Be careful not to cut the rolls all the way open, or the lobster will fall out. Divide the lobster among the rolls and garnish with some finely chopped chives. Serve the rolls with lemon, salad, fries, and butter sauce.
