(Family Features) If you’re seeking a new way to bring your family together at mealtimes during a busy fall, look no further than sweet, succulent Maine Lobster. As a versatile solution at the center of delicious dinners, satisfying snacks and beyond, it’s a perfect way to serve up new fall favorites. The fall harvest brings peak season for Maine Lobster, offering bountiful opportunities to enjoy its sweetness in an abundance of recipes like these dishes from Marisel Salazar, an accomplished Latinx food writer with a unique global perspective.
Her debut cookbook, “Latin-ish,” celebrates more than 100 modern recipes influenced by American Latino cuisines. Lobster is easier to cook than some may believe, making it accessible for cooks of all backgrounds and experience levels. Salazar and the experts at the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative recommend these five methods: Grilled: Lobster soaks up the charred flavors from the grill, delivering a smoky flavor that complements the sweet, succulent meat.
Air-Fried: Results in a crisp exterior and tender, juicy meat, enhancing lobster’s natural flavors. Boiled: A quick, easy, popular method perfect for entertaining, boiling brings out the rich, sweet flavor in these recipes for Puerto Nuevo-Style Lobster and Lobster Ceviche. Steamed: Preserves lobster’s natural taste and tenderness as a gentle cooking method, making it harder to overcook.
Baked: Allows for flavorful additions like garlic butter or a breadcrumb topping..
