Lobster Mornay

There are a couple of roles that Gaz holds around the house. These tasks he does really well, which makes him the designated person to perform it. For instance, he's the garbage person, toilet cleaner and lawn mowing guy. In the kitchen, he's the designated deep fryer person. His battered oysters are absolutely delicious! They're crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Very nice... He also does very good fried aubergines. Another food he cooks well is - lobster!

He's cooked lobsters once before, by grilling them in the shell with cheese. This time, he's cut it in half, scooped out the flesh and diced it into bite size. Then, he prepared a mornay sauce by melting butter and adding milk, cheese, flour and some wine in a saucepan. The sauce is mixed in with the flesh which is then placed back into the half shells. Last step is to place the half lobsters under the grill.

The end product

Lobster served with angel hair pasta

The sauce was so delicious! Very rich for all the butter, cheese and milk. It was just the right texture, and the cheese gave it a nice aroma at the right salt level. It was a very satisfying meal indeed.
