Lobsters for Elsa
Second

Ingredients for 2 people

500 gr. fresh red lobsters
200 gr. green pachino tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
1 dried hot red pepper
4 spoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch of fresh basil
2 pinches of salt
1 pinch of sugar
1 glass of white wine

To start, cut off the lobsters' whiskers and then wash the lobsters with water. Cut the garlic in small pieces and put it in a pan and fry it with the olive oil and the hot red pepper until it browns, then add the lobsters, salt and the wine and cook for some minutes on a high flame until the wine evaporates.
Take the lobsters from the pan and add in the remaining sauce, the tomatoes cut in pieces, some basil leaves and a pinch of sugar, mix everything two or three times then add the lobsters so they can absorb all the flavour of the sauce without cooking them for too long otherwise they become too tough!

Curiosity
Elsa is my mother and this recipe has been created for her but she never finds the ingredients I ask her to buy.
The fact that this recipe uses of green tomatoes, to give the lobsters a sweet flavour, has happened by chance; anyway the result is very good. Maybe the quantity of lobsters advised is too much, but being a dish for a special occasion, it is never too much! Furthermore, served with a small chocolate dessert, it can represent the only course of a unique dinner!
