DUBLIN LAWYER: LOBSTER IN WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

lobster 2 [1]Every time March rolls around the search for new Irish recipes commences.  After all, corned beef only gets you so far. Even at its most creative (St. Patrick’s Day sausages [2] anyone?) it is still corned beef.

flambe 2 [3]That’s not to say there aren’t a lot of tasty Hibernian dishes. Witness General Vegetable Soup [4] and the Sullivan family’s soda bread recipe [5].  A few notches up the gourmet scale you’ll find Roasted Kerry Salmon with Prawns [6] and Ballymaloe Steak and Oyster Pie [7] to name a couple of favorites. 

Just in time for St. Patrick’s day we now give you Dublin Lawyer. A rich sauté of creamed lobster — expensive, fatty and soaked in whiskey.

While this recipe calls for a swirl of mustard I happened to be making a batch of home made mustard [8] so I used dabs of vinegar-soaked mustard seeds instead of prepared mustard. A nifty trick, one that would be especially nice on corned beef come to think of it…

Enjoy!
