This Sunday is Father's Day, so after giving him the usual gift of after-shave and a tie, why not serve up something different for dear old Dad this year? During a recent visit to the supermarket, I noticed there was a special on pre-cooked lobsters. I bought a few, brought them home, put them in the downstairs freezer, and forgot about them until my wife discovered them a few days later. I decided I wanted to do more than just boiling and serving them with some butter, so after doing a quick check on
the interwebs, I made the recipe below. Happy Father's Day everyone!
Ingredients
454g cooked and cubed lobster meat (I let my lobsters thaw out, then boiled them in water for 2-3 minutes)
2 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 dash hot pepper sauce
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 pinch dried basil, parsley, tarragon, or dill
salt and pepper to taste
- Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves, then set them aside.
- Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart..
- Put the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle lightly with the remaining spice ingredients.
