Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. basil leaves stripped from their stock - (375ml)
- 3/4 c. sunflower oil - (175ml)
- 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil - (60ml)
- 1 c. mayonnaise - (250ml)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard - (5ml)
- 2 tsp lemon juice - (10ml)
- 1 x salt and white pepper - to taste

Directions
- For basil oil, place basil leaves in a bowl and pour boiling water over them, leaves for approximately 30 seconds till leaves turn a brighter green. Drain and refresh under cool running water, drain again and squeeze dry with paper towel. Place in a food processor and add in both oils and process to a puree.
- Line sieve with cheese cloth and set it over a deep bowl. Pour basil and oil puree and leave undisturbed for 1 hour, or possibly till all the oils has filtered through into the bowl. The solids left behind in the sieve can now be discarded.
- Combine mayonnaise with a splash of basil oil. Add in Dijon mustard, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Cover well and refrigeratetill needed. Note - Remainder of basil can be used with pizza, pasta, grill fish or possibly grill shrimp.
- Preheat grill to 350 F (125 C)
- If you have to kill the lobster yourself, freeze the lobster for 2 hrs, before placing them into a pot of salted boiling water for only 2 min. Remove the lobster and plunge them into cool water to refresh. Cut them in half. Remove the stomach sac from behind the eyes.
- Brush basil oil over the cut side of each lobster half. Place cut side down on grill, cover and grill for 8 min or possibly till they are cooked through.
- Serve grilled lobster with basil oil mayonnaise.
