Description
From the misty shores of Nova Scotia that once were home, comes a taste of summer deeply ingrained with salt, sand and high tides, my com-from-away take on Nova Scotia Lobster Rolls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 steamer (center split) hot dog buns
- 1/4 cup soft butter, divided
- 1 pound (500 g) cooked lobster, lightly chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup celery, diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced fine
- zest of two lemons (and a squeeze of juice)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. When butter is hot and foaming, add garlic and stir to combine and infuse. Remove from heat immediately & reserve at room temperature.
- Combine lobster, mayo, celery, garlic, red onion, 2 tablespoons garlic butter, lemon zest, salt & pepper in a large bowl and hold, chilled.
- Brush remaining garlic butter on both sides of the OUTSIDE of hog dog buns and grill, or toast the outside of the bun in a pan – like a grilled cheese – until golden on both sides.
- Spoon readied lobster mix into the bun and serve; right now. Prepare the napkins people, it’s gonna’ get messy.
