Dublin Lawyer

"Found this recipe in Irish Food & Cooking by Biddy White Lennon and Georgina Campbell. A good source for modernized traditional Irish "receipts", as my Gran used to call them. The authors write that the unusual name might come from the fact the lawyers are the only ones who can afford this, ha ha. Haven't tried it yet, but sounds so good as an alternative St. Pat's Day Dinner, like when it falls on a meatless Friday! Somehow this doesn't sound like a Lenten meal, though! Perhaps using imitation lobster and the sauce, served over rice or pasta, is another option. If anyone tries this, please post a review."

  • The book referenced above suggests using a whole lobster, and then cleaning and reserving shells. You get almost the same amount of meat from the large tails; you might want to use two separate tails for this entree.
  • Lightly boil the lobster.
  • Cut through the shell and remove meat, cutting into bite-sized pieces; reserve tail shells and keep warm.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the lobster pieces and turn to coat in the butter and heat through.
  • Warm the whiskey in a separate pan and pour it over the lobster. Carefully set it alight.
  • Add the cream and heat gently without allowing the sauce to boil; season to taste.
  • Turn the hot mixture into the reserved shells and serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My children are now both in college, and am currently caring for my Mom who is convalescing from a stroke. Volunteering has been my main form of entertainment outside the home, but getting out and about is hard to manage right now. Recipezaar forums help out, make me feel I'm participating in the real world. Have had many different types of jobs, but would like to go back to school to get an education degree as soon as Mom is better able to care for herself. Imagine! a new teacher over 55! Love baking, and still volunteer to run the Band Booster Bake Sale even though both my kids have graduated out -- the other volunteers and the customers are just wonderful. Besides, who doesn't mind getting repeat requests for one's specialties? <br /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p>
