Glazed Lobster
Yellow Curry, Baby Zucchini, Fresh Origins Micro Lemon Basil
Chef Carl Dooley of Mooncusser | Boston, MA
For this dish, I wanted to showcase the baby zucchini, which have a great texture. The squashes are super tender and fresh, and the sauce provides some acidity and depth. Basil, which is indigenous to India, elevates the floral and citrus tones — a great, light summer curry.
