Sexy Lobster Linguine with Spiced Bisque Tarragon Oil and Iberico Lardo
This dish is a sexy yet balanced mix of shellfish, spice, and savoury depth. At its centre is a rich lobster bisque, reduced from roasted shells, white wine, Cognac, spicy chorizo, and a touch of prawn paste. The prawn paste is used here to boost flavour in the absence of whole lobster heads, but it’s not necessary if you have access to a full lobster. The bisque coats fresh linguine, tossed with sweet lobster meat and finished with a splash of chorizo oil. Tarragon oil brings freshness and lift, while thin slices of Iberico Lardo di Patanegra add a final meaty, luxurious touch. The recipe isn’t overly technical but does require attention and timing. I’ve kept the process simple: finish one step before moving to the next. If something needs time to cook or reduce, use that moment to prep the next component. With a bit of pacing, it all comes together smoothly and deliciously. Difficulty –Medium
