Lobster Flambe
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (1 1/2-pound) lobsters, cooked, meat removed from the shell, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup vodka
- Salt
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add the olive oil.
- Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the cooked lobster meat and saute quickly, just to heat up the meat.
- Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the vodka.
- Return the pan to the heat, ignite the alcohol, and cook until the alcohol burns off and the flames die out.
- Keep the pan moving throughout this process so nothing burns.
- Season with salt and serve.
- Propane gas torches are highly flammable and should be kept away from heat or flame, and should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight.
- Propane gas torches should only be used in well-ventilated areas.
- When lighting a propane gas torch, place the torch on a flat, steady surface, facing away from you.
- Light the match or lighter and then open the gas valve.
- Light the gas jet, and blow out the match.
- Always turn off the burner valve to "finger tight" when finished using the torch.
- Children should never use a propane gas torch without adult supervision.
