Serves 2-4
This may not look award winning on the plate, but trust me on this, the flavour combinations are just outstanding, and is simply a lovely summery way to treat lobster. Alternatively use big prawns or even chunks of steamed white fish, but the key here really is in the balancing of the key flavours.
1 freshly cooked lobster, weighing 1lb/500g, with the meat removed and chopped
1 bunch of baby leeks, trimmed
A small bunch of spinach leaves
A small knob of fresh horseradish
For the dressing
Best quality olive oil
Fine powdered matcha green tea
Soy sauce
Fine powdered matcha green tea
Soy sauce
Warm the lobster gently in a saucepan with a little of the olive oil, throw the leeks in too to warm them through also. Scatter on a plate making sure to use all the pan juices as the base of the dressing, throw over a few spinach leaves at this stage. Sprinkle over a little soy sauce, dust with the matcha green tea powder and finish with a generous but very fine grating of fresh horseradish. At this point a touch of salt and pepper may be added.
