Take the meat from two large boiled lobsters as in the foregoing recipe, cut it up into nice slices, add them to the prepared sauce, make the whole perfectly hot in the bain marie, and turn it out on to a hot dish in the centre of a border of boiled rice; sprinkle the rice here and there alternately with a little lobster coral and finely chopped parsley, and serve.
