Ingredients for 4 people :
- 4 lobsters
- 4 peaches
- 150g Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO
- 1 clove of garlic
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of salt
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 150ml plain or natural yogurt
- Two slices of chilli pepper
- Some basil
- Majoram
- Black pepper
Method
- Cook the lobster in plenty of boiling salted water until it turns bright red.
- Clean the lobster and separate it from the claws.
- Sauté the lobster in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a garlic smashed in it skin (this adds flavour to the oil).
- Rinse the peaches and, without removing the skin, cut into very thin slices. Place the overlapping slices on a sheet of parchment paper, creating a ‘base’ for the final roll. Make four of these bases.
- In a bowl pour salt and sugar equally, then lightly sprinkle the peach slices with the mixture and leave to marinate for a few minutes.
- In a bowl add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and two slices of chopped chilli to the yogurt.
- Stir to the consistency of liquid sauce.
- Cut the lobster into small pieces, season it with some basil leaves and lay it on the end of a base of peach slices.
- Roll it up with the help of the parchment paper to create a ‘cylinder’ or roll of peaches with a lobster filling.
- Prepare the remaining rolls and put them in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Place a roll in the centre of a plate, slice diagonally in two, drizzle with the yogurt sauce and drape with slices of Prosciutto di San Daniele.
- Garnish with some marjoram leaves, basil and black pepper.
