Lobster

Ingredients

• 1 whole or as desired Lobster
• Water
• Oil or beef lard (manteca de vaca)
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 small glass Sherry wine (jerez)
• Stock (caldo)
• Mayonnaise
• Green sauce (salsa verde)

Instructions

1. Bring water to a boil. Add the lobster, whole or cut into pieces or rounds, and cook for a few minutes, taking care to remove the vein thoroughly and ensuring the juices are retained.
2. In a separate pan, heat oil or beef lard (manteca de vaca) and sauté diced carrot and onion until soft. Add the parboiled lobster to this pan, then transfer everything to a heavy pot or casserole. Pour in a small glass of sherry wine, cover tightly, and bring to a simmer.
3. Halfway through cooking, add stock (caldo) as needed to complete the cooking process.
4. When the lobster is fully cooked, transfer it to a serving dish. Serve accompanied by mayonnaise, green sauce (salsa verde), or according to preference.
