Ingredients

  • 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped
  • 2 onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 sprigs parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 live (1 1/2 to 2 pound) lobsters
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh fennel bulb, fronds and upper stems reserved
  • 3 tablespoons minced chervil or parsley
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup minced shallots or onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 36 wonton or egg roll wrappers

Directions

In a large pot place 1 gallon of water and the celery, onion, carrot, lemon and orange juices, peppercorns, thyme, parsley, garlic, bay leaves, white wine and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, then add the lobsters and poach for 9 minutes. Remove the lobsters from the water with tongs and drain. When cool enough to handle, remove the lobster meat and claw meat from the shells, finely chop and set aside, reserving the shells.

Into a clean pot strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Add the lobster shells and bring to a boil over high heat and reduce by half. Add the fronds and upper stems from the fennel bulb and reduce again by half (should be between 2 and 3 cups). Strain the liquid again into a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the chervil, cream, 2 tablespoons butter and 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon zest to the pan and season to taste. Remove sauce from the heat and cover.

In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and saute the fennel, shallots and garlic until soft. Add the chopped lobster meat and saute for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and remaining lemon zest and butter to the pan and stir to incorporate, then pour onto a plate to cool. On a flat surface spread out 18 won ton wrappers and spoon 1 tablespoon of lobster filling into the center of each. Brush a little water on the outer rim of the filled wrapper and top a wrapper. Press gently around the filling and the edges of the wrappers to seal. (Ravioli may be refrigerated at this point, covered tightly, until ready to use, up to 2 hours.)

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, drop in the ravioli in batches and cook for 30 seconds. Drain thoroughly and place 3 ravioli in the center of each serving plate, and coat with the sauce.

    I have been making this recipe for over 10 years and it is awesome!! I have used homemade ravioli dough instead of the wonton wrappers and it works out just as well.

    The flavor and freshness of this recipe was awesome. We did it with fresh made pasta instead of won ton wrappers and it came out great. The only change I'd make is next time I'll try processing the filling a bit for a smoother finish. It was a little chunky.
