Lobster thermidor jackets

Lobster adds an extra layer of luxury to the party proceedings, and these pair beautifully with a glass of fizz. Substitute the lobster with crab meat or juicy prawns if you prefer

Ingredients

  • 12 salad potatoes, about 80g each(we used Vivaldi)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt flakes
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 100ml fish stock (made with ½ stock cube)
  • 2 tbsp dry vermouth or sherry
  • 100ml double cream
  • handful chives, chopped
  • 250g cooked lobster meat, diced (or white crab meat if you can’t get lobster)
  • 50g Parmesan, finely grated
  • juice of ½ lemon

Step by step

Get ahead
Prep the jackets to the end of step 3, cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Bake for an extra 5 minutes if cooking from fridge-cold.
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Put the potatoes in a roasting tin and rub with the oil. Season with flaky salt and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until soft inside. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and then stir through the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes on a low heat, then slowly start adding the fish stock. Stir continuously to avoid any lumps forming, then stir in the vermouth and the double cream. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, until you have a thick sauce. Stir through most of the chives and the lobster pieces and season well.
  3. Halve the potatoes and put cut-side up on a baking tray. Top each half with a spoonful of the lobster thermidor mixture. Scatter over the Parmesan and squeeze over the lemon juice.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Serve scattered with the remaining chives.
