Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups Lobster Meat Essential protein and primary flavor; can substitute with other seafood if desired.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds richness and creamy texture; light cream can be used for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup Chicken or Seafood Stock Provides a liquid base and enhances flavor; vegetable stock works as a pescatarian substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Used for sautéing aromatics; any cooking oil can be a good alternative.
  • 1 medium Onion Aromatic base for flavor; shallots or leeks offer a different taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall flavor; garlic powder can be a quick alternative.
  • 1 medium Carrot Adds sweetness and color; peas or corn can be swapped for variety.
  • 1 stalk Celery Contributes crunch and flavor; fennel could be a creative substitute.
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas Sweet bursts in filling; fresh peas work wonderfully if they’re in season.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme The herb adds depth of flavor; dried thyme can be a fine substitute.
  • 1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brings brightness and tanginess; vinegar can work in a pinch.
  • to taste Salt Enhances overall flavor; adjust according to dietary needs.
  • to taste Black Pepper Adds a bit of spice; white pepper can be used for a milder flavor.
