Tomato and Lobster Salad with Avocado Relish and Shellfish Aioli
Recipe courtesy Coronado Farmers Market, San Diego, CA

Ingredients
Aioli:
2 quarts lobster stock made by simmering lobster bodies and white Mire Poix in water for 45 minutes
then strain.
1 egg yolk*
4 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper
4 small vine ripe tomatoes with stem, peeled and sliced
2 (1 1/4 pound) lobsters, cooked and removed from the shell intact
1 avocado
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 basil leaves, sliced
1 shallot, minced
Sea salt and black pepper

Directions
To make aioli, reduce stock down to 2 tablespoons and cool. In a mixing
bowl combine yolk and stock with a whip, season with salt and pepper. While mixing, slowly add the
oil in a steady stream until fully incorporated being careful not to add the oil to fast. Taste and
adjust seasoning, reserve.
For the salad cut tomatoes in half widthwise, cut bottom flat so that the tomato will stand upright.
Slice lobster into bite size pieces and lay out on a sheet pan. Remove avocado skin and stone, slice
into 1/8-inch slices. Lay avocado out on a sheet pan. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, lemon
juice and sprinkle with teaspoon zest, basil, shallot, salt and pepper.
Place a spoonful of aioli in the middle of each plate. Place tomato button in center of aioli, top
with 3 to 4 slices of avocado and then 1/4 of the lobster. Place top of tomato on top so that it is
reassembled. Garnish with baby greens and serve.
