Preparation:
1) Prepare lobster by cutting in half lengthwise through the head & body first. Remove tail halves, and claw & knuckle sections. These are the sections with the meat for the bisque. Cut the body into 2" pieces.
2) Heat oil on medium high heat in a 4 qt stock pot and add the chopped onions, garlic, shallots, carrots, celery & all of the lobster. Cook on medium to medium high heat, stirring continually for 10-12 minutes or until the lobster shells start to turn red.
3) Remove just the lobster pieces which contain meat & let cool for 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the sherry.
4) Add the peppercorns, cayenne, parsley, bay leaves, thyme & tomato puree. Cook stirring for another 5 minutes.
5) Place the water & heavy cream into pot and bring to a boil. Remove lobster meat from cooled lobster and reserve for the final presentation. Add the remaining shells to the creamy stock. Let simmer and reduce by 25%.
6) In a separate 3-4 qt pot, melt butter on medium heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk to make a roux. Lower heat & slowly cook the flour & butter for about 5 minutes. The roux should be blond in color & have a buttery aroma.
7) When the creamy stock is reduced, strain into the pot with the roux, and whip with a wire wisk. Discard the shell & vegetable mixture.
8) Chop the lobster meat into 1/2" pieces & stir into bisque. Salt & pepper to taste.
9) Portion bisque into your favorite cup or bowl & garnish with chopped chives.
