Dear Gustare Guest,

We wish you warm summer greetings from sunny Cape Cod. 
 
Thank you to those who were able to attend our 1st anniversary celebration and enjoyed Cucina d'Amore's mobile wood-fired oven pizzas drizzled with some of Gustare's featured favorites!
 
Catherine's recipe focus for the Test Kitchen this season is Summer on Cape Cod.  We hope you enjoy Gustare's recipes for kicked-up lobster rolls, clam chowder with a zip, and our  patriotic summer fresh fruit salad...with coconut balsamic!
 
As always, we appreciate your feedback regarding your guest experience with Gustare Oils & Vinegars on the Cape.
 
Enjoy & Buon Appetito!

Catherine's summer season notes
from the Gustare Test Kitchen
Lobster Salad with
Herbes de Provence Aioli


Servings:
8

Prep time: 20 minutes
 
Ingredients 
2 lbs of lobster meat cut into ½" chunks
  (approximately 4 steamed lobsters - 1 ½ lbs each.
  I figure ¼ lb/person for lobster salad rolls on this size bun.)
¼ C celery, minced
½ T minced shallot
Herbes de Provence Aioli (recipe follows)
pinch of sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
tender, leafy lettuce of your choice
8 hot dog buns - toasted or not

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, celery, onion, 2 tablespoons of aioli, salt and pepper, to taste. You can always add more aioli, if desired. Line the buns with some lettuce, fill with lobster salad and finish with a generous grating of black pepper. 
 
Note:
For ease in the kitchen, ask your fish market to steam, crack and split the lobsters. It saves time, eliminates some of the mess and you won't feel as guilty...Enjoy!
 
Herbes de Provence Aioli
Yield: 1 cup, approximately
2 eggs, room temperature (recipe uses 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk)
1 C Herbes de Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 T lemon juice, freshly squeezed
pinch of pressed garlic
¼ t sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
 
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add whole egg and egg yolk and blend for about 5 seconds just to get the eggs together. Begin to add the oil. If the oil is added too quickly, it will not emulsify. Blend in the lemon juice, pinch of pressed garlic, sea salt and pepper to taste. Taste and correct for seasoning...Enjoy!
 
Note: 
Pressing 1 clove of garlic will enable you to use more if you like. Taste as you go for the desired result.
 
Other Suggestions:
Catherine's Clam & Scallop Chowder  is the perfect accompaniment with lobster salad followed by our Patriotic Fruit Salad with Coconut Balsamic Reduction for a light, refreshing summer dessert.  Enjoy!
