The idea of leftover lobster sounds almost impossible to me. But I did find myself with two leftover, big, fat ,1.5 pounders and made up a few lobster rolls for dinner the other night. The last time I made these was at Christmastime. You must have the top split New England style frankfurter rolls for these...not all that easy to find here in New Jersey, but my local A& P for some reason always has them. The rolls get a nice toast in a skillet in melted butter on either side.
The lobster meat gets tossed with nice squeeze of lemon juice, a little bit of Hellmann's Mayo, some finely chopped celery,freshly ground black pepper... and a snip of a few chives from my garden over top. It all gets mixed together gently and is loaded onto a Boston lettuce lined toasted roll. We had these with some potato chips, dill pickles, and an ice cold Corona....it was a wonderful dinner. I closed my eyes and felt I was sitting in the hot sun, on a bench at a fish shack in New England. We were happy as clams!

We always toasted our buns that way:) The best!
I can't find those rolls anywhere here in Dallas. :( Your lobster rolls look delicious. Perfect dinner.
ReplyDeleteHi linda, I love lobster, this refreshing meal sounds great. have a nice weekend. anja
ReplyDeleteWow, leftover lobster! Can't imagine such a thing. I tried a lobster roll many years ago when I visited a friend in Boston.
ReplyDeleteThat's my idea of an great meal.
Your lobster rolls look just like what they serve along the coast of Maine, Linda. Soooo good....
ReplyDeleteOh thanks my friends....they were so good. I bought 6 big lobsters and Mike and I could only eat so many before we burst....so I had two leftover. They are on sale again this week for $4.99 a pound for hard shell lobster...guess what? I am getting them again! Lori you could always take regular hot dog bun...stand it up with the opening on top and slightly shave off the crust on the sides...no one will know the difference!
ReplyDeleteMike goes back to Brussels next Sunday...so there will be another lobster fest before he goes...yeah baby!
oh yum... i have never had leftover lobster so this is rather an exciting treat to me!
ReplyDeletehope you had a great grad party~
Lobster rolls should be simple and straightforward, just like yours. That's how we do it here in New England!
ReplyDeleteMy oh my that is heaven on a plate! Fabulous! What a summer meal!
