I chose the Amalfi lemon because of its unique characteristics and intense aroma thanks to an abundance of terpenes and essential oils.

INGREDIENTS

15g extra-virgin olive oil
1g Maldon salt
CHILI-LEMON SAUCE
40ml lemon juice
10g Normandy butter
(lightly salted)

RECIPE DEVELOPMENT
Step 1 PURPLE PURÉE
Peel the purple potatoes, place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
Cook for 15 minutes and drain.
Dice the potatoes into cubes of a little over 2.5cm at the most, mash the cubes while they are still warm and add the olive oil while whipping the mixture smooth.
Let the purée settle to room temperature.
Step 2 LOBSTER
Cut the fresh lobster in half lengthwise along the back.
Immerse in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes, then boil the claws for another 4 minutes or so.
Remove the meat from the shell, trying to keep it in one piece.
Step 3 CHILI-LEMON SAUCE
Bring the lemon juice to a boil with a pinch of Maldon salt and a spoonful of water.
Turn off the heat as soon as it boils, add the butter and whisk smooth.
Add the chili pepper and blend with the heat off.
FINISHING & SERVING INSTRUCTIONS
In a soup plate, build a tarte with the purple potato purée and top it with the lobster meat.
Pour the chili-lemon sauce into the plate.
To be eaten with a spoon.
Krug Rosé
26ème Édition
Citrus takes centre stage in this pairing, while the hint of iodine in the recipe completes the Champagne’s structure, which is balanced by the meatiness of the steamed lobster. The comforting potatoes are invigorated by the chili pepper finale that exalts the energy of Krug Rosé 27ème Édition.
