INGREDIENTS
Boiled lobster shells, legs and heads.
Pastis
Fennel seeds, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Celery and any other green leafy herb to hand.
METHOD
Add the shells to a heavy based saucepan and pour in a generous dash of Pastis. It’s great to find a role for that bottle that sat on the top shelf undrunk for 15 years! Light the pastis and let it flame out. Add veg and cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 mins. Strain and freeze.
USES
CROQUETAS and THERMIDOR, BISQUE, Kedgeree, Chowder, Rice dishes, Asian Fish or Prawn soups.
