Title: What goes with lobster?
Post by: sirean_syan on Thursday, December 21, 2006, 01:53:36 PM
For Christmas dinner my sister-in-law is making lobster. My job has become to come up with and prepare a side dish that goes with it.

So what could/should it be? I'm sorta thinking I should make a lemony spinach salad or something like that, but that seems sorta boring. Maybe if I did that along with something that takes a bit more preparation and actual cooking that'd work. A potato dish could also work, like where make a little plate out of them and fill them with stuff. That could be good if I find the right things too put in them. I don't want to get too heavy or just go with the usual cheese and bacon approach.

Anyone have any ideas?

Citrus-y, butter-y or garlic-y dishes are probably your best bet. You'll also probably want to make something with a lot of light oils in it. Maybe look up some Mediterranean dishes.

Yeah, Citrus-y, buttery, and garlic-y dishes are probably best.

Cheddar cheese biscuts also go good with lobster. Or with anything for that matter.

Yeah. I guess the lemonish salad is a good start.

I'm thinking I'm gonna do that, but then also some sort of large well buttered and seasoned red onions (roasted). That should work.

Thanks all.

Well, it is the San Francisco treat and me being the Northern California person it could be appropriate.
