Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomatoes are unique: small, pointed at one end, they are picked slightly green and woven together into a bunch where they are stored, hung, as summer fades into autumn and then winter. Their flavour is so bright, so intense, they truly are like no other tomato. Your lobster wouldn’t want to settle for any less!

Boil the 2 lobsters. When they are cooked, cut them and remove the meat.

Add the lobster meat and sliced red onion, garnish with the basil leaves and serve.
