olives is a delicious one and it makes this pasta unique. We also are making the mafaldine for this dish in house using our new pasta extruder. Mafaldine is named after Princess Mafalda of Savoy and also goes by the name “Reginette” which roughly translates to “Little Queens

Butter-Poached Lobster

Avocado Crema, Thousand Island, Pickled Cucumber, Shaved Radish, Dill
Beurre Monte

Allergies: Seafood, Allium, Dairy, Citrus, Gluten, Nightshades

Avacado crema is made from avocado and crème fraiche. Thousand Island “Louis” dressing is made from ketchup,
mayonnaise, and pickles.
PICK UP/PLATING: This dish is served on 2 plates, the entrée bowl as well as a small “triple scoop” bowl on the
side. The first plate has the lobster tail lightly coated with the buerre monte (butter sauce). This is served with fregola on one half of the plate, summer (green) beans on the other half and the plate is brought together with the Sauce Americaine. The dish is garnished with an abundance of basil (opal or purple basil and thai basil).
The second side plate contains the Lobster Louie (cold lobster salad). This is the lobster knuckles and claws
chopped and tossed with thousand island-style “Louis” dressing. This salad is served with avocado crema, pickled
cucumber, shaved radish, and dill.
DOTS: This dish should feel very luxurious as the guests are receiving a whole lobster- the Tail is cooked
traditionally and sauce americaine is a very classic pairing. Our hope is that every person sitting outside would
want to order this and a great bottle of wine and enjoy the nice weather. Depth of flavor comes from the lobster
stock (with deeply roasted shells and pernod to give it depth) as well as yellow tomatoes cooked down into the
sauce americain which offer natural sweetness.
Buerre = butter Monte= “to mount with” We essentially make a butter sauce from white wine mounted with
butter emulsified in. Butter is also added to the sauce americaine to give it nice mouth fee
