Thursday Recipe

One of my favorite summer treats is the Lobster Roll. I'm picky though, I don't like onion so I am particular about my recipe. This one from the Deen brothers meets my criteria perfectly.

Ingredients

• 4 (1 1/2-pound) cooked lobsters or 4 lobster tails or 1 1/2 pounds lobster meat
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 inner celery stalks and leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 rolls, split and lightly toasted
• Melted butter, for brushing

Directions

Remove the meat from the lobsters, chopping any large chunks into bite-size pieces. In a bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

Cook's Note: Place lobster salad in refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the salad to absorb the flavorings.

Brush cut sides of the rolls with melted butter and fill with the lobster salad.
