Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Lobster Meat (fresh, cooked)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Chicken or Seafood Stock
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 medium Carrots (diced)
- 2 stalks Celery (diced)
- 1 cup Frozen Peas (no prep needed)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme (double for more flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
- 2 Pre-made Pie Crusts (ready-made or homemade)
- 1 large Egg (beaten for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauté: Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and allow it to warm until it shimmers.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic into the skillet. Cook these for about 2 minutes until fragrant, then add the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate Herbs and Peas: Toss in the frozen peas, fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well.
- Create the Creamy Base: Pour in the chicken or seafood stock along with the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add the Lobster: Gently fold in the fresh lobster meat, keeping those chunks intact.
- Preheat the Oven: While the filling cools, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Assemble the Pie: Fit one pie crust into a pie dish. Pour the lobster mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Seal with the Second Crust: Place the second pie crust over the filling, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.
- Egg Wash for Color: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For a richer filling, consider adding more cream. Use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
