Tartare of shellfish
Ingredients
- 4 pcs. Lobster Tails
- 1 pcs. Crawfish the meat thereof
- 1 pcs. Shallots finely chopped
- Lemon Juice
- Spices salt and pepper
- 6 pcs. Quail Eggs
Instructions
- Chop the langoustine tails and the langouste meat finely.
- Add finely chopped shallots and season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the toast bread thinly and lightly toast it.
- Trim the toast to fit into a mold. We used a mold meant for making chocolate bars, but you can also use different shapes and sizes of cookie cutters.
- Place the shellfish tartare on the bread in the molds and chill.
- Boil the quail eggs so they're soft-boiled, which takes about 3 minutes. Let the eggs cool in cold water, peel them, and cut them in half.
- Serve the small "bites" garnished with wood sorrel, the halved quail eggs, and homemade potato chips.
Notes
The quail eggs shown in the picture were overcooked - we forgot to cool them in cold water. They should have been soft-boiled but became too hard.
The presentation will be extra delicious if you use homemade toast bread for the purpose.
