Recipe - Hacked Chicken In Tortillas With Orange Vinaigrette

1 cup Looselypacked cilantro
leaves; washed, dried
4 Garlic cloves
One fourth cup White wine vinegar
2/3 cup Extravirgin olive oil; plus
3 tablespoon Extravirgin olive oil
2 Live lobsters (2 lbs ea);
rinsed with
Cold water
2 Fresh jalapeno peppers (to
3); seeded, minced fine
One half cup White wine
3 tablespoon Whole butter; softened
One half cup Coarselychopped peanuts
Salt; to taste
Freshlyground black pepper;
to taste
Mixed mesclun salad greens

Put the clean and dry cilantro leaves in a food processor. Pulse to begin
chopping, add the garlic and vinegar and pulse to puree. While pulsing,
drizzle in 2/3 cup of oil, season with one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon
black pepper and pour into a serving container. Place the whole lobsters,
in a bag, in the freezer for 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and with a
sharp knife split the lobster in half through the body. Remove the claws
and crack the claw shell with the blunt side of a chefs knife. Remove the
tail and cut first in half, and then divide each half into 2 or 3 pieces.
Heat a large wok or skillet with 3 tablespoons olive oil and add the minced
jalapeno. Stirfry for 30 seconds and, over high heat, add the hacked
lobster. Cook in batches if necessary. Quickly stirfry the lobster in the
chili oil for 1 to 2 minutes. Periodically splash in several tablespoons of
white wine to add some steam to help cook the lobster and cover for 4 to 5
minutes. The lobster should thoroughly cook in about 8 to 10 minutes. When
the lobster shell has turned bright red and the exposed meat is opaque add
3 to 4 tablespoons of the pesto, the soft butter and the peanuts. Stir to
coat the lobster well and serve immediately. Serve the lobster on a bed of
greens and drizzle vinaigrette all around. This recipe yields 4 to 6
appetizer course, or 2 to 3 main course dishes.
