My Favorite Recipe for Lobster Enchilada

I was looking for a recipe for lobster enchilada after watching the NBC food competition program The TASTE, the other day. I found the following recipe from the Foodnetwork.com that looks easy and savory. I will give it a try and let you know of the results in my future postings. Perhaps you may give it a try also and let me know the results. Bon Apetit!

Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 zucchini, diced
2 jalapenos, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cups vegetable stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 leaves Swiss chard, stems removed
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon onion powder
4 cooked lobster tails, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 lime, juiced
3 ounces feta cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

In a saute pan over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil and saute the zucchini, jalapenos, garlic and onions until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Then add the vegetable stock and lower the heat. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and simmer 20 minutes. Puree in a blender and adjust seasoning, if necessary. (See Cook's Note.) Hold warm over low heat.

Salt the boiling water generously and blanch the Swiss chard leaves just until limp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain.

In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the coriander, cumin and onion powder. Cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Then add the lobster, lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute, just so the flavors combine. Be careful not to overcook the lobster.

To assemble, place a spoonful of lobster in each blanched Swiss chard leaf and roll up like an enchilada. Then pour the sauce over the top and garnish with the feta cheese.

Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
