Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Zest the oranges,lemons and limes.
  2. Prepare the orange, lemon and lime pieces.
  3. Make the *sabayon with the orange juice, 1/3 lobster broth and the egg yolks.
  4. Poach the lobster in the broth for 8 minutes then the foie gras for 6 minutes
  5. Season foie gras with fleur de sel (sea salt) and black pepper to taste.
  6. In a deep plate, arrange the citrus pieces, cover with the sabayon.
  7. Broil for 1 minute.
  8. Add one foie gras slice then layer one lobster tail on top and decorate at your discretion.

* The sauce you need is based on a foamy mixture called a sabayon (a cousin of the light, egg-based Italian dessert zabaglione). A sabayon is made by beating egg yolks with a liquid together in a saucepan over simmering water until thickened and increased in volume. ( the liquid can be water, but champagne or wine is often used for a savory sabayon.) The sabayon must not get too hot during cooking or it will become grainy: if it begins to feel warmer than body temperature, remove the pan briefly from the heat, beating continuously, until the mixture cools. Then return the pan to the heat and continue cooking.
