Lobster, American Style

Procure two good sized freshly boiled lobsters and split them, removing all of
the meat very carefully, and cut it up into pieces about an inch in length; and have
in readiness a pan on top of a range half full of good olive oil, and when the oil has
become very hot add pieces of the lobster. Chop very fine one peeled onion, one
green pepper, and half a peeled clove, some sound garlic, place it with the lobster
and cook for five minutes, stirring, all the time; season with a pinch of salt and half
a saltspoonful of red pepper, to which add half a wineglassful of white wine. After
two minutes’ reduction add one gill of tomato sauce and a medium sized peeled
tomato, cut into small dice. Continue cooking for ten minutes, gently stirring the
while then pour the whole into a hot dish or tureen and serve.
