This recipe was easy to prepare and came together quickly. DH and I were impressed by how complimentary the pairing of the grilled lobster and grilled veal were. We would have never thought of the combination. While we liked the dish, we were not overly fond of the frutiness of the sauce, which I believe is probably personal preference. Our only modifications were to use regular butter in place of clarified, and while I bought watercress, I forgot to garnish the dish with it. We used Bacardi for the rum. Thanks for an interesting meal. Made for ZWT5.
