Directions:

STEP 1

You can use either fresh or frozen lobster tails. When using frozen tails be sure to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or place them in a pot of cold water for 30 minutes or more, until fully thawed.

Pan sear the lobster tails with the butter for 3-4 minutes until the edges are beautifully crisp and golden.

STEP 2

Add the wine and the broth. Use a good quality dry white wine. Cook until sauce almost reduced and add the truffle paste.

STEP 3

Keep the fire on a medium flame and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook! You don’t want tough or rubbery lobster. You want soft and melt-in-your-mouth seared lobster meat.

STEP 4

Plate and shave fresh black truffle on top.

How to cook with Black Truffles

Black truffles work well with ingredients like butter and cheese because the fat in these ingredients absorbs the earthy truffle flavor and carries it through the whole dish.

How to spot Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

To make sure that you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy, otherwise it is not Parmigiano Reggiano.
