Ingredients

  • 1-2 large tortilla
  • 2 small lobster tails
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small crusty sourdough loaf, cubed
  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Lettuce, chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Caesar dressing:

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 lemon, zest + juice
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup parmigiano cheese

Toasted breadcrumbs:

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • parsley, minced

Instructions

  • Croutons: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F. Cube your small loaf of sourdough and place them on a baking tray with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Lightly salt and toast in the oven until golden brown. Set aside
  • Lobster: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Add in the lobster tails and cook until 80% done (mine are small and i cooked them for 4 minutes). Remove and immediately place them in iced water to stop the cooking. Deshell, remove the flesh and chop up the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan and add in the lobster pieces. Finish cooking the lobster in the butter, remove from pan and set aside.
  • Toasted Breadcrumbs: In the same pan, add in the breadcrumbs and parsley. Toast until the breadcrumbs are golden. Remove and set aside
  • Caesar salad: in a bowl, add in your finely minced garlic, anchovies, egg yolk, lemon zest + juice, mustard and whisk well until combined (try to break up the anchovies to small pieces). While whisking, slowly drizzle in your vegetable oil until you have a thick sauce. Grate in the parmigiano and season with salt + pepp to taste.
  • In a separate bowl, add in the chopped lettuce, croutons, extra parmesan cheese and 2-3 tbsp of the caesar dressing. Toss to dress the lettuce. To the remaining dressing, add in 2-3 tbsp milk to loosen the sauce for dipping later, adjust to desired consistency.
  • Assemble: place 2 tortillas next to each other, half overlapping. Add the dressed lettuce, top with the lobster meat, toasted breadcrumbs and extra parmesan cheese. Wrap up the tortillas and toast on a pan until golden on both sides. Serve with the caesar sauce
