Ingredients

Johnny Cake:

Directions

  1. Heat a wok over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic, goat peppers, and onions and saute until soft, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the lobster and move it around with the other ingredients. Add the mangos, peas, and kale, and continue moving the contents around. Flambe with the rum, and reduce by 1/2.
  3. Then add the fish stock and further reduce by 1/4. Add the butter and continue stirring. Check for seasonings. The mixture should have a broth-like consistency.
  4. Divide the lobster and broth among 4 large pasta bowls. Arrange two Johnny Cakes on the sides of each bowl and serve.
