Lobster Roll Recipe
Place cubes of lobster meat in a bowl along with mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, chives, salt and pepper. Gently mix the lobster with the seasonings until it’s well combined. Spread butter on the outside of split top hot dog buns, then toast the buns in a pan on the stove. Place a lettuce leaf into each bun, then mound the lobster mixture on top. Add a sprinkle of chives if desired, then serve immediately.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat approximately 3 1/2 cups, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup celery finely chopped, use the tender inner stalks
- 1 tablespoon chives thinly sliced, plus more for garnish if desired
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 split top hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, chives, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Spread the butter onto the outer sides of each bun. Place the buns in a pan or on a griddle over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Divide the lobster mixture among the buns. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
