Instructions
- 1 To prepare the Bosana-style lobster, first boil the lobsters. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Tie the two live lobsters together at the tail, and once the water boils, place them in the pot. Cook for about 20 minutes. Once done, let them cool in the water.
- 2 Extract the meat from the lobster tails and cut into fairly thick slices, taking care to remove the intestine, which contains sand. Also recover the meat from the claws and legs.
- 3 Take the yellow lobster liver from the head and place it in a separate bowl. Add extra virgin olive oil, 3 g of salt, and vinegar. Whisk the mixture with a fork to make an emulsion.
- 4 Arrange the lobster pieces on a serving plate, dress them with the emulsion, and serve immediately.
