Enjoy this quick and easy lobster dip on crunchy crostini

As Ed and I live in a flat we are always guests at other people’s BBQs, so we need a contribution that is easily transported or can be assembled on site. If it can be prepared ahead so much the better.  My go to pudding to take to parties is usually a pavlova, along with a coolbag containing tubs of whipped cream and berries; 60 seconds of assembly and you have a pudding to wow!

I predict that my hit for this summer will be this luxurious but very simple lobster dip, which is perfect to serve as canapés piled up on a home made crostini  – ideal grazing fodder whilst you are waiting for the BBQ to get going, or as an indulgent filling for a baguette.

The star ingredient here are frozen lobster tails – simply defrost and simmer, bake or fry for a delicious, indulgent ingredient with the wow factor.   Frozen coriander adds freshness to the dip, and once baked par baked baguettes can be turned into crostini, or used as they are.

To make the crunchy crostini simply bake the baguettes as per the packet instructions, allow to cool, slice as thinly as you can, brush both sides with olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and salt, pop onto a baking sheet and return to the oven for 10 minutes until crunchy.   Allow to cool and pop into a tin where they will keep for a couple of days.

If you are planing on taking lobster baguettes on your picnic, cook the bread that day, allow to cool before slicing, buttering and filling with salad.   Add the lobster dip just before you serve to avoid soggy bread and a potential mess in the picnic basket.  Transporting the lobster dip in a pot or tub makes it easier to keep it safely chilled too.

For another idea for using lobster tails try my traditional Portuguese seafood cataplana.

    How indulgent, love the idea of taking a lobster dip along to a party, how impressive! What’s the Iceland lobster like eaten as is – does it compare well to fresh or is it best used in dishes like this, would you say? I’ve tried frozen lobster from a discount warehouse retailer and it’s not great on its own but perfect to use like this, mixed with other ingredients. I wish I had an Iceland nearby, a lot of stuff I’d love to try!

      I think it needs to be mixed in and used as an ingredient, but I do think that freshly frozen is as good as fresh.

    Mmmm that sounds lovely! Canadian lobster is the best too, but I might be biased. ;)

      I agree. Cold water lobster is so much better than tropical too.

    Love the mix of luxury and simplicity. Oh, boy, when was the last time I eat lobster? Haha. I should make this one though I might use the one from tropical or both to taste which one is the best. Hehe

      I am firmly in the cold water lobster camp – I think the flesh is firmer.

    Sadly I have a fish and seafood allergy (which is a shame, because it all looks so delicious!) but I’m going to share this with my mum because she would love it.
