Description
Lobster is the perfect ingredient to create an elegant and delicious seafood dish. Once boiled, it can be seasoned to taste, as in the traditional recipe for Algherese-style lobster.
In the Alghero area, this dish is made using the day’s fresh catch and seasoned simply, resulting in a main course or appetizer that is both simple and refined.
In our recipe, we paired the delicate flavor of the lobster with the intense taste of arugula. For a milder flavor, you can substitute arugula with another type of salad, such as lettuce or valerian.
