Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Shells from 5 cooked lobsters, rinsed
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10 peppercorns

Method

  • In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the lobster shells and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add enough water so that the pot is 2/3 full, then add the onion, bay leaves and peppercorns.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for several hours or overnight.
  • (The longer it simmers, the better.)
  • Using tongs, remove and discard the large shells, then strain the stock through a fine sieve twice.
