Lobster Roll #2: Lightly Dressed with Herbs
Our other favorite way to enjoy a lobster roll is to dress it lightly with mayo mixed with chopped fresh herbs. Use a good quality mayonnaise (like Hellman’s) and stir in some chopped tarragon, parsley, or chive. We like to blend all three and sometimes throw in a little chopped celery and minced red onion for crunch. A squeeze of lemon in the dressing keeps it from getting too heavy and offers a bright note. Pile as much as you like onto a toasty bun and dig in.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lobster meat cleaned and picked free of shells (from about 3 pounds of live lobster)
- ¼ - ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs tarragon, parsley, chive
- 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Four New England-style rolls
- Butter
Instructions
- Add the lobster meat to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, herbs, and lemon juice. Adjust quantities to your liking. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the rolls.
- Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Butter the sides of the rolls and place them on the griddle or skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, till golden brown.
- Remove rolls from the griddle and fill each with about 4 oz. of the dressed lobster meat. Serve and enjoy.
