Sauce for Lobster Salad
A rich mayonnaise-based sauce for lobster salad, enhanced with lobster coral and anchovy essence, creating a luxurious dressing with deep seafood flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 whole Hard-boiled egg yolks (From hard-boiled eggs)
- 2 tablespoons Lobster coral (roe/spawn) (Red coral from the lobsters)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Anchovy essence or anchovy paste (A dash)
- 0.75 cup Olive oil or vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Mushroom ketchup (Can substitute with soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Indian tapp sauce or tamarind sauce (Can substitute with additional vinegar)
Instructions
- 1Place the hard-boiled egg yolks and lobster coral in a mixing bowl. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash them together until smooth and well combined.
- 2Add the dry mustard, salt, cayenne pepper, and anchovy essence to the egg yolk mixture. Mix thoroughly until all seasonings are evenly distributed.
- 3Begin adding the oil very slowly, drop by drop at first, while whisking constantly. As the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, gradually increase to a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking until all oil is incorporated and the sauce is thick and creamy.
- 4Whisk in the vinegar, mushroom ketchup, and Indian tapp sauce until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 5Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or storage container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Use to dress lobster salad.
