Merry festive ceramic side plate, R39.99 from Mr Price Home
Forget the turkey. It’s Summer. Opt for a festive braai. Serve lobster tails with lemon butter along with a butter lettuce salad, topped with avo and parmigiano shavings, and a loaf of fresh sourdough bread.
To make: Combine the melted butter with lemon juice, honey, chives, and dill. Cut the soft fins and shell away from the underside of the lobster tails. Brush lobster tails with lemon butter and braai until cooked and tender, making sure you brush with lemon butter while cooking.
This lobster dish pairs well with Alvi’s Drift Brut Nature Cap Classique, a bone-dry bottle-fermented sparkling wine with intense aromas of baked brioche, lemon cream, and hints of walnut and nougat (R300), or Alvi’s Drift Cap Classique Brut – a refreshing bouquet of citrus, creamy lemon and just a hint of almond (R190) from alvisdrift.co.za
