Lobster Rolls

lobsterroll

A lobster roll
consists of lobster salad spread on
a bun (usually a hot dog bun) that
is then broiled. The bun is quite
important. A commercial hot dog
bun appears to be the ideal casing,
being soft enough to prevent
the filling from squirting out from
the end opposite the bite and
bland enough to allow the delicate
flavor of lobster meat to shine
through.

Servings(8)

3 cups [720 mL] cooked lobster meat
1 cup [240 mL] mayonnaise
1⁄2 cup [120 mL] celery, strings removed, peeled, and very finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tablespoons [30 mL] fresh basil leaves chiffonade
1 tablespoon [15 mL] fresh parsley, finely chopped
1⁄4 cup [60 mL] scallions, finely sliced
Tabasco to taste
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, preferably homemade
Butter, for grilling
Lemon wedges, for garnish
A D V A N C E P R E PA R AT I O N
1. Mix the lobster meat with the mayonnaise, celery, garlic, basil,
parsley, and scallions.
2. Season to taste with Tabasco, lemon juice, and salt and
pepper. Allow to stand, refrigerated, for at least 4 hours or
overnight.
C O O K I N G M E T H O D
3. Spread the hamburger bun halves with butter and grill until
toasted.
4. Spread 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 cup [80 to 120 mL] of lobster salad on
each bun half and broil under a salamander or broiler until
browned.
