DJ Paul and his Fiance Majda Baltic prepare the best “Cooking For Bae” meal – a Sherry Cognac Lobster Broth aka. DJ Paul’s “Lobster Panty Dropper.” Full Recipe Below:
Sherry Cognac Lobster Broth
2 T. olive oil
2 small shallots, finely diced
1/4 c. sherry
1/4 c. cognac
3 c. Vegetable stock
20 live Manila clams, scrubbed, purged
3 raw corns on the cob
1/4 c. chopped parsley
1 T. chopped tarragon
Heat grill to medium high heat. Brush corn with a mixture of 1 T. olive oil and DJ PAULS on ERRYTHANG seasoning. Place corn directly on the grill. Grill each corn for about 6-8 minutes, turning the corn on each side to create grill marks that are visible all the way around. When all sides of the corn show grill marks and the corn softens, remove it from the grill. You can check the softness of the corn by pressing a fork into the kernel. When ready the kernel should be easily punctured.
Heat the other 1 T of oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté shallot until soft. Add sherry and cognac, cook until evaporated. Add vegetable stock, bring to a boil, and reduce slightly. Add clams, cover, and cook until clams open their shells about 2-3 minutes. Discard clams that do not open. Using a slotted spoon, transfer clams to 2 large serving bowls and keep warm.
Cut the kernel off of the grilled corn. Add the kernel corn to the broth and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes, then add the herbs. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, slice the lobster tail shell down the center, leaving the tail end intact. Pry open the shell and lift out the meat, close the shell and place the meat back on top of the shell. Brush with olive oil. Season with DJ PAULS ON ERRYTHANG SEASONING and fresh ground pepper. Cook under the broiler for about 8 minutes until the meat is just opaque, taking care not to overcook.
Ladle the hot lobster broth over the clams. Place a lobster tail in the center of each bowl. Garnish with parsley and tarragon. Serve with toasted baguette for sopping up the heavenly broth.
