  27. Pull out the claw, then remove the internal cartilage if it didn't already come out.
  28. Reserve the claw meat whole.
  29. Blood Orange Relish:With a sharp knife remove the peel and outer membrane from the oranges.
  30. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, section the oranges.
  31. Place the juice in a small saucepan and reduce to a syrup over medium heat.
  32. Swirl in the butter and set aside.
  33. Meanwhile, toss the remaining ingredients together in a bowl just to combine them.
  34. The Plate:Fold together the minced lobster and 1/4 c./60 mL of the aioli.
  35. Layer the lobster onto 8 of the pastry rectangles with a few sorrel leaves.
  36. Form 4 stacks with these and top with the remaining 4 rectangles.
  37. Place the remaining aioli in a squeeze bottle and pipe onto 4 plates in a decorative pattern.
  38. Place a sandwich in the center of each plate.
