Method

1. Bring two pans of water to the boil. Peel the potatoes and cut into roughly 3 cm chunks; when the first pan boils, salt it and cook them over medium heat for 15 minutes, until tender; drain and leave to cool slightly.
2. Salt the second pan generously, plunge the lobster in head first and boil for 10 minutes, until the shell is bright red; drain and leave to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile wash the tomatoes and slice them thinly; peel the red onion and slice it very thinly; wash the celery, remove the strings and slice it finely.
4. With a sturdy knife split the lobster lengthways, pull out the meat from the tail and claws (crack them with a nutcracker) and cut it into pieces.
5. In a bowl combine the lobster, potatoes, tomatoes, onion and celery, dress with oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss gently; serve at room temperature.
