Cornish BLT – Bacon, Lobster and Tomato

Chef, author and food photographer James Strawbridge has come up with his own version of a BLT replacing the lettuce for handpicked Lobster meat.

Ingredients – Serves two

500g cooked lobster meat

1 tbsp chilli jam

1 tsp finely chopped tarragon

1 little gem lettuce

1 large tomato, sliced

2-4 rashers of streak bacon, chopped

4 caper berries

4 slices of toasted sourdough

Handful of rocket and watercress

1 endive or chicory

2 sprigs of tarragon to garnish

4 tsp caviar [optional]

1 tsp herb oil

Sea salt to season

Method

Step 1

Cook your bacon in a little oil until crispy and then set to one side on a sheet of kitchen roll.

Step 2

Warm your lobster meat in the bacon fat with chilli jam and tarragon to glaze. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes and season with a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Build your salad with sliced tomatoes, toasted sourdough and a selection of salad leaves.

Step 4

Then add in your bacon crouton, glazed lobster meat and finish with herb oil, tarragon and if you’re feeling decadent, a few dollops of caviar.
