Lobster Saute, Finnoise

Boil two two-pound live lobsters in a gallon water with a tablespoon salt for twenty minutes. Lift up and let cool off, crack shells from claws and tails, carefully pick out all the meat and cut into half-inch pieces. Heat a tablespoon melted butter in a frying pan, add one finely chopped, seeded green pepper and gently brown for two minutes, then add the lobster. Season with a half teaspoon salt and saltspoon cayenne pepper, brown for five minutes, then pour in two gills pure, fresh tomato juice, lightly mix and let boil for eight minutes. Knead an ounce butter with three-quarters ounce flour, then gradually add to the lobster, continually mixing while doing so, cook for five minutes more, place in a chafing dish or soup tureen and serve.
