How To
1. Poach the lobster: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low, heat the MagicalButter. Add the lobster, salt, and pepper, and slowly cook for 15 minutes. Set aside over lowest heat for later.
2. In a medium-sized sauté pan over medium-high heat, fry the pancetta in Coconut Oil until it is crispy.
3. Remove the pancetta, and set it aside to add to the soup later. Leave the oil in the pan, and add half of the butter from the lobster.
4. Add the onion, carrot, and corn, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Sprinkle the flour over your mixture, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Add the onion mix, chicken broth, sherry, potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and oil into your MagicalButter machine, and secure the head.
7. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71° C; then press the 1 Hour/Oil button. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
8. After 30 minutes, unplug the power cord, and lift the head of the machine. Add cream and the rest of the butter that was set aside from the lobster. Secure the head on the pitcher.
9. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71° C; then press the 1 Hour/Oil button.
10. After the cycle is finished, remove the machine head, and set it aside. Divide the lobster evenly into 4-6 bowls, and pour the soup over the lobster.
11. Top your Lobster Roasted Corn Chowder with (drizzled) Truffle Oil & Crispy Pancetta, and sprinkle it with black truffle salt. Serve and enjoy!
