Ethan's Lobster Thermidor Menu Box

SCALLOPS WITH LEMON & LIME BUTTER

Created by our fishmonger, Ethan, this simple-but-delicious scallop starter dresses fresh scallops with a lemon- and lime-zest infused butter, served on the shell.

INGREDIENTS

Greendale scallops on shells | Lemon and lime butter portions| Mixed salad leaves

HOW TO COOK

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4) and put the scallop shells, each containing a scallop and portion of butter, on the centre shelf. Heat for 10 minutes, then serve on two plates with the salad leaves alongside (please take care when handling the shells, as they can become extremely hot).
Turn the oven down a little, but leave it on so you can warm the chocolate brownies when you’re ready.

LOBSTER THERMIDOR

Our luxurious Lobster Thermidor is prepared by hand at Greendale Farm Shop, using lobsters fresh from our own boats. Truly a treat to savour…

INGREDIENTS

Lobster Thermidor | Fine green beans | Salad potatoes

HOW TO COOK

Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then add the salad potatoes, cutting any larger ones in half first. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until tender to the point of a knife, then drain. When the potatoes have had 5 minutes, preheat the grill, then put the Lobster Thermidor under it for a few minutes, until the cheese is browned and bubbling and the sauce has warmed through. While the lobster grills, use another pan to steam or boil the fine green beans for a few minutes, then drain. Carefully remove the finished lobster and plate it up, together with the cooked beans and potatoes.
