1 1/2 cups finely diced stale coarse-textured bread
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 coarsely chopped Nicoise or Gaeta olives
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic or aged-red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges
for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450.
With the back of a large knife or with a mallet, crack the claws and the knuckles all over.
Rub the exposed lobster meat with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
In a medium bowl, toss the bread with the parsley, olives, lemon juice, vinegar, lemon zest, the reserved tomalley and the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Set the split lobsters, cut side up, on a large baking sheet.
Season with salt and pepper and spread the stuffing over the bodies and tails, mounding it generously.
Bake in the upper third of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the stuffing is crusty and the meat pulls away from the shell.
