First, here is the list of the different ingredients you will need to make this Lobster Roll that serves 3 to 4
- 1 Lobster tail per person
- 2 – 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp chives, 1 Tbsp fresh parsley and 1 rib of celery
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 bun per person ( homemade or retail)
- One butter lettuce
Now, here are the few steps you will need to follow to make the Lobster Roll with a preparation time of 20 minutes
First, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add 2 Tbsp salt. Boil the Lobster tails for 1 minute per ounce. ( A 5-ounce tail needs 5 minutes cooking time. Prepare an ice bath for dipping the tails right after cooking.
Once the tails are cooked, let them sit in the ice bath until they can be handled. Take each tail out of the ice bath and drain off any liquids. Grab a good pair of scissors and cut the shells all the way along the back of the tail. Pry apart the shell and pull out the lobster meat onto a clean working station. Cut the tails in half first ( length-wise) and then into large chunks. Once all the tails are cut, place the meat into a new mixing bowl.
Now, incorporate the finely chopped chives, parsley, celery, and finally the mayonnaise, gradually increasing the quantity in order to not over saturate the mix.
Gently mix with a hand spatula and add a little bit of mayonnaise if you feel the mix is too dry. Finish the mix by incorporating the lemon juice.
Then, the other main part of the dish, is of course the bun! These Homemade Buns can be a wonderful addition to the dish. Butter each outer side of the buns, and place them on a hot non-stick pan, or a pre-heated griddle. Toast them until golden brown on each side.
