INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the yogurt, the Cognac,
the ketchup, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and chill
the sauce, covered. Plunge the lobsters into a large kettle of boiling
salted water and boil them, covered, for 10 minutes. transfer the
lobsters with tongs to a bowl and let them cool until they can be
handled. Crack the shells, remove the meat, and cut it into 3/4-inch
pieces. Transfer the lobster meat to a large bowl and chill it,
covered. The lobster cocktail may be prepared up to this point 1 day
in advance. Halve the mangoes by cutting just to the sides of each pit
and, using a 3/4-inch melonball cutter, scoop the flesh from the mango
halves. (There should be about 2 cups.) To the lobster meat add the
mango balls, the celery, the whole endives, trimmed and sliced thin
crosswise, the minced chives, and the sauce and toss the mixture until
it is combined. Divide the lobster mixture among 12 chilled small
glasses an garnish each serving with 1 of the endive leaves and 2 of
the whole chives. Yield: 12 servings Recipe by: Cooking Live Show
