Steps for Brittany blue lobster and cauliflower mousseline

1 - Make the cauliflower mousseline: peel the cauliflower and onion and chop coarsely. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in the olive oil, add the cauliflower, then the milk, bring to the boil and keep on a high heat for 15 min. Blend until silky smooth.

2 - Cook the lobster: bring a large pot of water to the boil with the aromatic garnish, plunge in the lobsters head first, then cover, over medium heat, for 12 min.

3 - Prepare the strawberries: heat the red wine, vinegar, a little water and sugar in a saucepan until boiling, then plunge in the whole strawberries without the tails for 5 min, drain and reduce the rest to obtain a syrup.

4 - To make the Parmesan crumble: hand-mix the softened butter, flour, Parmesan and roasted pumpkin seeds. Bake at 180°C for 10 min.

5 - Make the spider crab coral emulsion: bring the water to the boil in a saucepan, cook the spider crab for 15 min, then remove the coral from the head. Sweat the coral and a shallot, deglaze with cognac, add the fish stock, leave to infuse over medium heat, then add the coconut milk and green curry.

6 - Finishing and serving: cut the lobster medallion into three pretty pieces and emulsify the coral. Arrange two quenelles of cauliflower mousseline on the plate, with the lobster on top. Arrange the strawberries around the lobster, followed by the coral mousse. Finish with a spoonful of crumble.
