Rocket Lobster Rolls Recipes

MAINE LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Cook lobster according to directions here. I prefer to steam cook the lobster. Follow the instructions on the same guide to remove all the lobster meat from the shell.
• Chop the lobster meat into big chunks. You can leave the claw meat whole if you prefer as well. Toss the lobster in the melted butter (optional). Set aside.
• Finely chop the spring onions and put it in a bowl. Add about ⅓ cup of mayonnaise, a generous pinch of celery salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
• Add the butter coated lobster into the mayonnaise mix and add lemon juice to taste.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
• You will need a stick blender and a tall container that just fits the stick blender. Do not use a bowl, or a large container for this recipe.
• Crack the egg into the container, followed by a pinch of salt, mustard, lemon juice and vinegar.
• After these ingredients are placed in the container, slowly pour in the oil into the container - along the wall, so that the egg remains at the bottom.
• Place the stick blender in the container, with the egg yolk underneath the stick blender blades.
• Without moving the stick blender, start blending and hold it in place for about 10 - 15 seconds. You will start to see the egg and oil at the bottom of the container turn white. Next, move the stick blender up and down to mix the rest of oil and to make a thick mayonnaise - another 15 to 30 seconds more. It should be smooth, thick and spreadable. If it's too lumpy, mix in a little water. Taste the mayonnaise and add more lemon juice or salt if needed.
• Place the mayonnaise a glass jar with a tight lid and store in the fridge, for up to 5 days.
• You can buy New England lobster roll buns, or make them at home using this recipe.
• Spread butter on both sides of the lobster roll buns. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Toast both sides - about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
• When the toasted buns are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to split the buns on top.
• Line each bun with lettuce leaves. Fill each bun with 1/4 of the lobster filling. Sprinkle extra chopped spring onions or chives on top.
• Serve with lemon wedges, chips or fries. If you prefer, you can choose to serve with other side dishes and drinks as described in the post.

RECIPE: LOBSTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Freeze the lobster for 2 hours, then when it's stopped moving pierce the back of its head with a strong, sharp knife. Place the lobster in a large pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes for the first 450g, and a further 10 minutes for each extra 450g. Drain the lobster from the water once cooked, then leave to cool.
• Twist off the claws then break into sections. Break the side of the claw shell using nutcrackers, a hammer or back of the knife, then remove the flesh. Remove the piece of cartilage in the middle of the claw meat. Detach the tail section by twisting it off the head. Lay the tail on its side and press down until it cracks. pull the shell apart lengthways, you should be able to pull the lobster meat out whole. Cut the black vein that runs throughout the tail meat out.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, lemon juice and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Mix in half of the lobster meat.
• Melt the butter in a pan on a low heat, then add the lemon juice, paprika and season with salt. Stir through the other half of the lobster meat to warm slightly.
• Slice the brioche rolls in half lengthways and brush the sides with the butter. Toast in a hot pan/skillet over a medium heat until golden brown. Serve immediately with a bowl of dressed rocket, roasted cherry tomatoes and crisps on the side.

• Put the mixing bowl into the fridge to chill for about 10 minutes.To assemble the Lobster Rolls:
• Toast the buns and butter them if desired.
• Into each bun, place some lettuce leaves. I like to make a little boat shape with the leaves when I place them into the buns, so that the lobster meat filling stays inside better.
• On top of the lettuce, spoon some of the lobster meat filling.
• Now if you have any intact claw meat, make the sandwiches pretty by tucking in some claw meat (like in the pictures).
• Sprinkle some green onion slices over the sandwiches and serve.
• Enjoy!

NEW ENGLAND LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Part 1: Add 1-2 inches of water to a large pot and cover with lid; bring to a boil over high heat. Place the lobsters into the pot, replace cover, and steam for 10 minutes.In a small bowl, combine minced shallots and lemon juice. Let macerate for 10 minutes.
• Place 1 cup homemade mayonnaise into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the macerated shallots, along with 1 teaspoon of juices, to the mayonnaise. Add minced tarragon, and stir to combine. (Note: This makes enough tarragon mayonnaise for 4 lobster rolls). Slice celery stalks into thin strips lengthwise, then cut into ¼-inch dice. Set aside.
• Part 2: Prepare an ice bath by placing ice cubes in a large bowl of water. After 10 minutes of steaming, remove lobsters from the pot and immediately place in the ice bath to stop the cooking. Let chill, 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sliced celery and tarragon mayonnaise.
• Toast buns: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread softened butter over the inside and outside of the buns. Working in batches, open up the buns to place them flat on the skillet to toast, about 1 minute. Flip and toast the other side, 1 more minute. Repeat until all of the buns are toasted.
• Part 3: When cool enough to handle, break down the lobster. Use paper towels to absorb any liquid that drains out. First, twist off the tail from the body and set aside. Repeat with the legs (which you can save for stock or discard), claws, and knuckles. Remove the tail meat from its shell by splitting the underside of the tail in half lengthwise. Remove the meat from both halves and set aside (clean out the green tomalley or roe and discard).Use a knife or a lobster cracker to split the claw shells; remove the meat and set aside with tail meat. Crack the knuckle shells, remove the meat, and set aside with remaining lobster meat. Repeat with remaining lobster.
• Place a large mixing bowl on top of a kitchen towel. (This will keep the bowl stationary during whisking.) Into the bowl, add the egg yolk, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, water, and a pinch of cayenne pepper; whisk to combine. Begin emulsifying: whisk in a drop of olive oil, then whisk in a tablespoon in a thin steady stream. Switch to vegetable oil (since the strong flavors of olive oil can over power the may): add about 1/3 of it in a thin, steady stream while whisking continuously. Alternate whisking in olive oil and vegetable oil until all of the oil has been added. As the oil is whisked in, the emulsion will thicken, eventually holding a peak off the tip of the whisk. Taste the mayo; then whisk in remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, a few pinches of salt, and a pinch of cayenne to taste. Set aside. makes 1 1/2 cups. (Mayonnaise can be stored up to a week in the fridge.)
• Assembly: Roughly chop lobster meat into big chunks. Add a few tablespoons of the tarragon mayonnaise, just enough to coat the meat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more mayonnaise as needed. Place lobster salad into toasted buns. Garnish with lemon wedges and watercress, and serve.
