Ingredients

Method

In small skillet with lid set over medium-low heat, cook white wine and leek, covered, stirring halfway through cooking time, until leek is very tender, about 10 minutes. Sea­son with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat; stir in lobster, shrimp, peas, lemon zest and juice, and broth. Season with salt and pep­per; let stand for 10 minutes. Strain through fine-mesh sieve placed over bowl. Refrigerate seafood mixture and reserve liquid.

In bowl, whisk gelatin with 3 tbsp cold water. Whisk in reserved cook­ing liquid until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Let stand until mixture is consistency of raw egg whites, about 20 minutes.

Stir in seafood mixture, chervil and tarragon leaves. Pour into 9- x 5-inch loaf pan; refrigerate for at least 5 hours (or up to 12 hours).

To unmold, dip bottom of loaf pan in lukewarm water for 5 seconds, place serving plate on top and gently flip over. Garnish with lemon slices, tarragon and chervil, and sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Serve with crackers.
