Lobster Martinis
These martinis are unlike any you may have had before, because they are edible rather than drinkable! They make a beautiful appetizer, and are delicious as well as healthy. Even better - they won’t give you a headache in the morning.
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups cooked lobster meat, cut into chunks
- 2 cans Mandarin oranges
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1/3 cup red onion, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. grated lime peel
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
- Citron or Lemon Vodka (optional)
- Endive for garnish
Directions:
Drain oranges and mix with peppers, onion, parsley, lime peel, oil, juices, salt and pepper. Add lobster meat and carefully combine all ingredients. Chill for 30 minutes. Place 2-3 endive leaves into 8 martini glasses. Spoon chilled lobster mixture into each glass, dividing equally. Add a splash of Citron Vodka if desired, for an authentic “martini” taste. Makes 8 martinis. Cheers!
