cup grape tomato

cup fresh dill

cup black olives

green onion

lb farfalle pasta

lobster tail

cup apple cider vinegar

tsp red pepper flake
lemon

pinch kosher salt

clove garlic clove
pinch fresh ground black pepper

tbsp unsalted butter

cup pickle
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Add the garlic to a small ramekin and cover completely with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, then cover the ramekin with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for about 2 hours, until the garlic cloves are deep golden brown and meltingly tender. Immediately refrigerate the cooked garlic confit with the oil. 2. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut down the top middle of each lobster tail, exposing the meat. Place the tails on the prepared baking sheet and set a tablespoon of butter on top of each, then season with salt and black pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 140°F (60°C). Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, then carefully remove the lobster meat from the shells and cut into large chunks. 4. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic confit and oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, green onions, dill, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Gently mix, keeping the garlic cloves mostly intact. 5. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, pickles, and lobster meat. Pour the dressing over top and mix to evenly coat. Garnish with more dill and green onions. 6. Enjoy!View original recipe
