LOBSTER ROLLS

Lobster Rolls image

I grew up in Nova Scotia where seafood was cheap. My Mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster 'not-boring!' Now, lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. I've paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in Cape Cod and it wasn't half as good or half as big as the ones my Mom taught me to make. This is a wonderful summer (or winter) treat and makes a fancy luncheon to impress your friends. (And no, I don't eat the green stuff in the lobster!)

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, softened
4 roll (blank)s hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, split
4 large leaf (blank)s lettuce leaves
1 ½ pounds cooked and cubed lobster meat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 medium (4-1/8" long)s green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch dried basil, parsley or tarragon

Steps:

Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart.
Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle parsley, basil or tarragon lightly over the filling.

Tips:

- Use the freshest lobster meat you can find. Live lobster is ideal, but frozen lobster meat can also be used. If using frozen lobster meat, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water. - Cook the lobster meat until it is just cooked through. Overcooked lobster meat will be tough and chewy. - Use a light, fluffy bread roll for the lobster rolls. The bread should be able to hold the lobster meat without becoming soggy. - Dress the lobster rolls with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include mayonnaise, lemon juice, butter, and chives. - Serve the lobster rolls immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are fresh and warm.

Lobster rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a lobster roll that is sure to impress your friends and family.
