Dick Bridges, a Maine lobsterman, gave this recipe to The Times in 2007, and we've adapted it here. It's a stew that's both humble and luxurious, making it the perfect dish to serve for a late-fall or winter dinner party.
03Add lobster to onion and potato mixture; stir over medium heat. Add canned milk and basil, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper. If mixture is too thick, add milk or cream. Serve.
