Lobster tail
Lobster tails are a popular seafood dish that can be found in restaurants all over the world. While the dish may seem modern, the history of lobster tails recipes dates back centuries.
Lobster tails were first mentioned in a cookbook from 16th century England. The book, titled “The Good Huswifes Handmaid for the Kitchin” included a recipe for “Lobster Tails in Pye”. This dish was made by boiling the lobster tails and then baking them in a pastry crust.
Lobster tails became more popular in the 18th century, when they were commonly served at lavish dinner parties. At this time, the tails were usually boiled and then served with butter or cream sauce.
Advice
When making lobster tail, it is important to remember to use a sharp knife when cutting the lobster before cooking it. This will help ensure that the lobster tail cooks evenly and that it does not become chewy. Additionally, when boiling the lobster, timing is key. Boil the lobster for about seven minutes per pound, and then remove it from the heat. Finally, once the lobster has been cooked, it is important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help ensure that the lobster maintains its juicy texture and flavor.
