Lobster know-how

If you have the stamina to kill for your dinner, try buying a live lobster. Here's how to proceed from there... Freeze the live lobster for an hour, then drop into a pan of boiling water for 10-15 minutes until it turns bright red. Cut straight down the back and remove the black vein, green paste and and sand sac from behind the eyes. Pick out the flesh and toss in pasta with a splash of oil and pinch of chilli flakes or eat in a soft roll with butter as in this recipe.
