Fill hot dog buns or brioche with a luxurious lobster and lemon mayonnaise filling for this New England street-food staple
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 500g cooked lobster
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 celery sticks, stringed and diced
- small pinch of cayenne
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 6 good quality hot dog buns (brioche are our favourite)
- snipped chives
To serve
- good-quality potato crisps
- gherkins
Method
1. Crack the lobster, remove all the meat, cut it into large chunks and set aside. (Lobster shells can be kept to make a delicious soup.)
2. Mix the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, celery, cayenne and a small pinch of salt, then fold the lobster through to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If eating straight away, leave at room temperature – or chill for up to 1 day in advance.
3. To serve, split the rolls and lightly butter on all sides, including the outside. Heat a griddle pan and griddle the rolls in batches on all sides. Divide the lobster mix between the rolls, scatter with chives (if using) and serve on a platter with napkins, a bowl of crisps and some gherkins.
