MAINE COAST LOBSTER ROLLS

Here is the simplest of recipes, brought to The Times in 2001 by Jason Epstein in the low, dispiriting weeks that followed the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was inspired, he wrote, by the food writer M.F.K. Fisher's account of a disastrous love affair, and quoted her in his article about cooking for friends at that time: "We returned to the life that had been so real, like fog or smoke, caught in the current of air. We were two ghosts [but] very live ghosts, and drank and ate and saw and felt and made love better than ever before, with an intensity that seemed to detach us utterly from life." Thus, of course, lobster rolls.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pound cooked lobster meat
4 stalks crisp, cold celery
1 to 1 1/4 cups Hellmann's mayonnaise
6 hot dog rolls, top-sliced (not side-sliced)
Paprika (optional)
Capers (optional)
4 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)

Steps:

Cut the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Chop the celery into medium-fine pieces and stir into lobster. Stir in just enough mayonnaise to coat the lobster mixture.
As is traditional in Maine lobster shacks, fry the rolls in a skillet or on a griddle in butter. Otherwise, toast them on both sides under a broiler. Add the lobster salad and sprinkle with paprika and a few capers.

That Maine-iac has me dreaming of my favorite summertime treat! Use any type of roll you like for this recipe. In the northeast the hotdog rolls are flat on the sides and split on the top. Hotdog rolls and fresh Kaiser rolls are what I usually grill for this sandwich. Enjoy!!

Add some extras to your lobster roll. Some popular additions include celery, red onion, and chives. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of Old Bay seasoning.
Serve the lobster roll on a toasted bun. This will help to hold the lobster roll together and make it easier to eat.
