Barbecued Rock Lobster with peach salad

Along with Brolos crayfish, we can’t think of a dish more suited to summer. Juicy peaches and fresh lobster straight off the bbq- what a perfect meal to impress your friends!

Serves 2- 4

Cooking tip: Add cornflour to the garlic sauce if you’d prefer a thicker consistency.

 

Ingredients

2 whole lobsters
salt and olive oil

Garlic butter sauce
1/3 cup butter
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tbsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
cornflour to thicken (optional)

Peach Salad
4 peaches
250 – 300 gm arugula or mixed greens
1 salad onion, sliced
walnuts (to taste)
olive oil

Methods

  1. To make the garlic butter, cook off the garlic in a medium heat pan and add the butter. As the butter begins to melt, add the remaining ingredients. If you’d like to thicken the sauce, add cornflour
  2. To prepare the lobster, split the raw/defrosted lobster lengthways and season with salt and olive oil. Place on a medium to high grill, flesh side down (cook until flesh starts to change from translucent to white)
  3. Remove from heat and brush lobster with garlic butter. Return to heat and cook through until garlic butter has a golden appearance
  4. Slice peaches in half and add to grill for a few minutes, or until slightly charred. Add these to the salad
  5. Add the peaches and the rest of the salad ingredients together, plating it alongside the lobster.
