Directions:1. The day before, marinate the lobster in sherry and refrigerate.
2. The following step can be done 2 or 3 days before and be refrigerated or prepared weeks before and frozen. In a large saucepan, saute onions, celery and carrots until soft enough to mash, or put in a blender or food processor. Add paste, mix well and mash or blend with 1 cup of water. Add another cup of water, bouillon, and simmer - season to taste (pepper, or paprika if preferred).
3. In a smaller saucepan make your white sauce. Melt butter, mix in flour, add milk a little at a time stirring continuously so lumps will not form and thicken. Add to vegetable rue. Mix well.
4. Just before serving add lobster marinate to bisque and heat through. ¼ cup of heavy cream may be added to this. Flavor will enhance as it sets. |
