Lobster and Limes - Leah (1x15)

Air date: Nov 16, 2015

Chef Leah Wildman takes on lobster and limes in this "L" challenge and shows us how to make some outstanding dishes. To start she makes a lobster risotto. She uses Canadian Atlantic lobster - the best lobster in the world. The key to a good stock is to use the shells from the lobster, because that's where a lot of the flavour is. The second dish she makes is a batch of tangy, creamy, lime curd tarts. She starts by making the curd, which is like a custard but firmer, and then makes the crust. She bakes the crust until golden, then fills it with the curd and tops it with whip cream and blueberries. But the real challenge is creating a final dish that features an unconventional pairing of her two ingredients.
