out of it.)

Add the remaining roasted peppers

and the remaining basil. Tuck the

chicken into the stewed peppers and

pour in the wine. Turn the heat

down to low, cover, and simmer for

20 minutes, until the chicken is

cooked.

Maine Lobster Boil

with Drawn Lemon Butter

40 minutes

This is an easy recipe for a late

summer backyard feast. Steamed

lobster, lemony butter, and a few

cold beers: That’s love. Special

equipment needed: kitchen shears,

tongs, crackers, bibs, and a napkin

to wipe your chin.

Serves 4

Lobsters

1 gallon water

½ bunch fresh thyme

4 bay leaves

2 lemons, halved

4 live lobsters, about 2 pounds each

(see Note)

Drawn Lemon Butter

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

Juice of 1 lemon

Make a tasty cooking broth by

combining the water, thyme, and

bay leaves in a very big pot.

Squeeze the lemon juice into the

water and then drop in the empty

rinds. Bring the pot up to a high

boil. Plunge the lobsters into the

boiling water, cover, and boil for

15 minutes. The lobster shells will

be bright red and the tails will be

curled when they are done.

While the lobsters cook, make the

lemon butter. Heat the butter in a

small pot over low heat. Warm it up

gently so the milk solids begin to

cook and sink to the bottom of the

pot. Keep a close watch because

once the milk solids collect and

fall, they burn really easily. Strain

the clear butter into a small serving

cup, leaving the solids behind, and

give a squeeze of lemon juice.

Note: For some, the humane factor

comes into cooking live lobsters. If

you stick them in the freezer for 10

minutes they will squirm less as you

dunk them in boiling water. If you

prefer to take a knife and do a quick

jab to the lobster’s spinal cord as

the means to its end, go right ahead.
