How To Make Ditch Plains Lobster Rolls

If you can't make it to the New England seashore, here's a quick and delicious way to bring the shore to you.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

4 to 5 lb. of cooked lobster meat
Salt and pepper
Dijon mustard
mayonnaise
tarragon, finely chopped
parsley, finely chopped
celery, finely diced
Some Old Bay seasoning
The peeled cloves of one head of garlic
olive oil
butter
potato hot dog rolls
scallions, thinly sliced
A large mixing bowl
A small heavy saucepan
A grill pan or toaster oven

Step 1: Make garlic confit

Make garlic confit. Add a cup of olive oil and the peeled cloves from a head of garlic to a small heavy saucepan. Let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat.

Step 2: Make the aioli

Start the aioli. With a spoon, crush your garlic in a bowl, and mix in a quarter cup of Dijon mustard, a cup and a half of mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Make the lobster filling

Make the lobster filling. Cut four to five pounds of cooked lobster meat into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Mix in a couple spoonfuls of aioli, a tablespoon of finely chopped tarragon, a tablespoon of finely chopped parsley, a cup of finely diced celery, half a cup of sliced scallions, and some Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Grill your rolls

Grill your rolls. Warm the grill pan on your stove and grease it with olive oil. Place the rolls face down on the pan. Prepare to butter your rolls by melting three tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan.

Step 5: Butter the rolls & serve

Butter the rolls with the melted butter. Add lobster salad to the rolls and serve!

A serving of lobster meat is loaded with essential minerals and protein, and has less fat, calories, and cholesterol than either skinless chicken or skinless turkey.
