Algherese Style Lobster
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.
