Lobster Sandwich With Lime Mayonnaise Recipes

MAINE-STYLE LOBSTER ROLLS WITH MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Fill a large steamer or pot with about 2 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon sea salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Put 2 lobsters (about 1 1/2 pounds each) in the steamer basket or directly in the pot; cover and steam until the shells turn bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lobsters and rinse under cold water until slightly cool. Remove the meat from the shells and roughly chop; chill the meat. Mix 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup diced celery, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon in a bowl. Stir in the chilled lobster meat and season with salt. Divide among 4 split-top hot dog buns and top with celery leaves.

• Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with the remaining lemon mayonnaise mixture. Top 2 slices of bread with arugula, tomato and bacon. Spoon the lobster salad on top. Cover with a second slice of bread. Cut the sandwich in half, diagonally and secure with frilly toothpicks.

LOBSTER CLUB SANDWICH WITH SWEET LIME MAYONNAISE AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, avocado, and sweet lime zest and juice in a bowl. Mix until smoothly blended. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Set aside. Place 4 slices of prosciutto on a paper towel-lined plate. Cover with another paper towel and cook in microwave for about 1½ minutes on high. The prosciutto should have the texture of crispy bacon. Toast slices of bread. Place a leaf of lettuce and four cucumber rounds on the first 4 pieces of toast. Add lobster meat, some fresh dill, and top with one or two dollops of mayonnaise. Place a half-slice of prosciutto on top. Top the four sandwiches with a second slice of toast. Repeat step 4. Finish with the 4 remaining slices of toast to complete the sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in halves or quarters and use toothpicks to hold them together. Serve with homemade coleslaw or slices of fresh tomato.

LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart.
• Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle parsley, basil or tarragon lightly over the filling.

LOBSTER WITH MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Fill a pan with lukewarm water and place over high heat. Place the lobster in the pan and cover. Once the water has come to the boil, cook the lobster for ten minutes or until it no longer has any blue hue and has turned a deep red-orange color. Remove the lobster from the pan and leave to cool.
• Once cool you can prepare the lobster in the traditional manner: with a sharp knife make an incision at the point where the head joins the body and cut down the length of the lobster towards the tail. Make sure that you have cut right the way through the body. Now turn the lobster 180 degrees and cut from the original incision back through the head. With you fingers gradually prise the shell apart so that it falls into two halves. Remove the front claws and set aside. With your index finger prise the meat out of the shell (trying to keep it in one piece, again working from the tail upwards. Replace the meat in the shell (this process makes it easier for your guests to keep their fingers clean) and repeat with the second half. Using a cleaver or hammer crack both sides of the claws. Remove the surrounding shell and extract the meat in a single piece. Arrange the two halves of lobster on a plate together with the claw meat and serve with mayonnaise, which you can make in the following way:
• Put eggs, mustard, pinch of salt, grinding of pepper and a small squeeze of lemon juice/vinegar in a basin and beat well with a wooden spoon, beater or whisk. Start adding the oil, drop by drop to begin with, stirring all the time. When the mixture starts to emulsify you may add more oil in steady dribblets but keep stirring until you get the required jelly-like substance, which is the consistency that proper mayonnaise should be. Finally test for more seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.
