Few dishes evoke the essence of New England quite like a classic Lobster Roll.It harnesses the abundance of fresh,succulent lobster that the region is known for and pairs it with simple yet indulgent ingredients, creating a delightful and truly satisfying meal.
1cupfresh lobster meatcooked and torn into bite-size pieces
2-3tablespoonsmayonnaise
1/4cupfinely chopped celery
1tablespoonlemon juice
Salt and white pepper to taste
2hot dog rolls
2tablespoonsmelted butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, chopped celery, and lemon juice.Season the mixture with salt and white pepper according to your taste preferences.Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to create a well-blended and flavorful lobster salad.
Cover the bowl containing the lobster salad with plastic wrap or a lid.Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and give the salad a refreshing and cool texture when served.
While the lobster salad chills, take a hot dog roll and slice it open carefully without cutting it completely in half.This will create a pocket that will hold the lobster salad in place when served.
Preheat a grill, griddle, or skillet to medium heat.Brush the inside of each hot dog roll with melted butter to add extra flavor and prevent the rolls from becoming soggy.Place the buttered rolls on the heated surface and toast each side until they are golden brown and crisp.
Once the rolls are toasted and the lobster salad is chilled, remove the salad from the refrigerator.Spoon a generous helping of lobster salad into each toasted hot dog roll, ensuring that it is well-filled to display the delicious filling.Serve your New England lobster rolls immediately while the rolls are still warm and the lobster salad is chilled, creating an irresistible contrast of temperatures and textures that will delight the taste buds of whoever is lucky enough to enjoy them.
