To make the lobster stock

To make the sauce

1. Fry the onions and olives in olive oil until golden brown, add the peeled tomatoes and cook gently for 1 hour, season with salt and sugar.

2. Pour some extra virgin olive oil in a hot pan with some garlic, red chilli and the lobster meat. Seal the lobster for few seconds and then a splash of white wine, allow it to reduce, add some salt, one ladle of lobster stock, one ladle of tomato sauce and some fresh tomato fillets.
