Yeah I really did poach a live lobster to make lunch on a Saturday...(this was a few weeks ago and I think we had hot dogs for dinner lol) Brea really wanted to try a lobster roll and Thomas Keller had a great recipe in his Ad Hoc at Home book. So this one is basically his except I didn't make Court Bullion to boil the lobster in (I am Nutz but not that Nutz)
1 2Lbs lobster, live then poached, shelled and chopped
3 Tbsp Mayo
2 Tbsp minced red onion
2 Tbsp celery, finely chopped
2 Tsp Tarragon, finely chopped
2 Tsp, Parsley, finely chopped2 Tsp, Chives, finel chopped
Salt and Pepper
1/2 lime
Hot dog rolls
4 Tbsp butter
1 Celery stalk, cut in to matchsticks
1 head butter lettuce, chopped
Pickled red onions (recipe below)
For the lobster, add lobster to boiling water and cook 12 mins. Put in ice bath to cool then shell and chop meat. In a large mixing bowl add lobster, mayo, onion, celery, tarragon, parsley, and chives. Stir to combine. In a large skillet heat the butter over med heat. Toast the buns in the butter until brown.
In the bun layer lettuce, celery, lobster mixture and top with pickled red onions.
Enjoy!
Pickled Red Onions:
1 Red onion finely sliced
3/4 C red wine vinegar
1/4 C sugar
Combine in a bowl and let sit at least 2 hours.
and i would think since you guys are on the coast you'd get lobster dirt cheap. not like being in a "land-locked" state...even "red-lobster" is too damn expensive...looks so yummy, makes me want to make a trip up to maine for some mussells and assorted yumminess...**sigh**
