Fresh Maine Lobster Roulade with Fresh Frisée Greens & Sea Grass

2 live Maine lobster - 1½ pounds each
4 Tablespoons chopped parsley
2 Tablespoons roasted garlic
2 Tablespoons chopped lemon thyme

Citrus Chive Vinaigrette: yields l cup Vinaigrette
2 ounces orange juice
2 ounces grapefruit juice
½ ounces lemon juice
½ ounces lime juice
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 ounces white vinaigrette
2 Tablespoons fresh chopped chives

Mango Ginger Salsa: yields ½ cup
2 ounces fresh chopped mango
½ ounce roasted red peppers
½ ounce roasted green peppers
½ ounce fresh chopped red onion
1 ounce balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger

Lemon Thyme Oil: yields 4 Tablespoons
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ Tablespoon puree fresh thyme
½ Tablespoon puree fresh parsley
1 Tablespoon lemon puree (sweetened)

2 ounces frisée greens (curled greens)
2 ounces sea grass
4 sweet potato gaufrettes
12 fresh Tuscan croutons - sliced on bias

Reserve the lobster tails raw. Cook claw and knuckle meat. Slice tails long ways to try to keep original shape. Pound flat for rolling. Mix together the cooked claw and knuckle meat, parsley, roasted garlic, and the lemon thyme to make your stuffing. Fill each lobster tail with stuffing. Roll tail so it holds original form. Wrap in plastic wrap making sure it is wrapped tight to eliminate air in the roulade. Wrap again with aluminum foil. Poach lightly in water bath until cooked. Slice on bias.

The Citrus Chive Vinaigrette is a very simple but important part of this salad. Mix all the juices in bowl then add white vinegar to mixture. Adjust flavor with the brown sugar and honey. Finish by adding fresh chopped chives.

To make the Mango Salsa add fresh mango, roasted peppers and red onion together in small bowl. Add balsamic vinegar. Mix well. Finish with fresh minced ginger and fresh cilantro.

Lemon Thyme oil is the perfect finishing touch for this salad, and is simply mixing olive oil, fresh herbs and sweetened lemon puree to form a nice pallet cleanser.

To assemble salad toss fresh sea grass and frisée greens with citrus chive vinaigrette. Place three croutons and three roulade slices on greens. Place a dollop of salsa between each crouton and lobster roulade slice. Finish with the Lemon Thyme oil and Sweet potato Gaufrette placed in one of the dollops of Mango Salsa. There are many ways to assemble this creation and I hope you enjoy making this recipe. Can be prepared hot or cold.
