Cooking lobsters the Mexican way.
Step 1: prepare the lobsters
Put a deep pan with water on high heat. When the water boils, use kitchen tongs to lower the lobsters into it (only head down) and cook them 3-4 minutes. When they are cooked, take out the lobsters and put them in a colander. We give time to cool, and then transfer them to a wooden cutting board. With the help of a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut its shell, cut off the tail with the head. We take out the meat from each lobster, which we cut into small pieces on a board.
Step 2: prepare vegetables with lobsters
We take ripe tomatoes, wash them well under running water, dry them with paper towels and finely chop them on a board. Sweet pepper is also thoroughly washed, dried with paper towels, cut in half, remove the core with seeds and also finely chop.
Mix the lobster meat with the already chopped vegetables in a bowl. Take a baking sheet from the oven with fairly high sides, if you don’t have one, take a baking dish. It is advisable to take forms with a non-stick coating.
Step 3: prepare the sauce and bake the lobsters
First of all, prepare the sauce. We take 20% cream and mix it in a bowl with seasonings, namely: with cumin, red pepper, allspice. All this is now a little salty. Pour one half of the already prepared sauce directly into the mold. Place lobster meat and vegetables on it.
Melt margarine or butter in a metal bowl over low heat. You can melt the butter using a microwave oven. After the butter is melted, add breadcrumbs to it. Pour this mixture into a mold and level it well with a spoon. For whom it is more convenient and more familiar – I can level either with a fork or a kitchen spatula. Pour the remaining cream on top.
We heat the oven on 190 degrees. When it heats up, put our form with the dish in the middle of the oven and bake it for a while 30 minutes.
