Lobster Pot
- 1 teaspoon white peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 3 bay leaves, crumbled
- 24 small round red potatoes
- 6 ears fresh corn, cut into thirds
- 6 (1-pound) live lobsters
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a spice mill or small food processor; process until finely ground.
- Add 4 inches water to a large stock pot; bring to a boil. Stir in spice mixture. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Add potatoes and corn; cover and simmer 25 minutes. Plunge lobsters headfirst into boiling water. Return water to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
- Place wine in a small nonaluminum saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until wine is reduced to 1/2 cup. Add margarine and next 3 ingredients; stir until margarine melts.
- Remove lobsters from pot; drain well. To serve in the shells, place each lobster on its back. Cut the shell of the tail segment lengthwise. Insert a sharp knife between the body shell and tail shell, cutting the two apart. Crack claws.
- Remove corn and potato with a slotted spoon. Place lobster, corn, and potato on a platter, and serve with margarine mixture. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
