Roasted Corn And Lobster Chowder

Type: Pasta
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Fresh sweet corn - (about 2 cups corn)

Recipe Instructions

butter -- for brushing corn 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large peeled & diced onion -- (about 1 cup) 2 celery stalks -- diced 1 leek -- split, cleaned, and diced 1 large sweet red pepper -- diced 2 seeded & diced jalapeno peppers -- (2 to 3) 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 vanilla bean -- split and seeds scraped out 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 quarts hot chicken stock 1 two-pound lobster 1/2 cup creme fraiche

Hack lobster tail into sections, crack claws, tie body in cheesecloth & reserve.

Brush corn lightly with butter and grill until toasted on all sides. Cut the roasted corn off of their cobs, reserving the corn to add later. Reserve the cobs, too!

Melt the 2 T. butter in a large, heavy bottomed soup pot. Add the corn cobs, the onion, celery, leek and peppers, and saute until the vegetables are soft, but not browned. Add the cumin, coriander, vanilla, salt and cayenne and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to release the flavors. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the reserved corn cobs along with the lobster body that has been tied in cheesecloth. Cook 40 to 45 minutes, then remove the cobs and the lobster body. Add the hacked lobster (and cracked claws, I assume - Holly) and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes before stirring in the creme fraiche. Serve immediately.
