How To Make classic new england lobster roll
-
Step 1In a medium bowl, combine the lobster meat, celery, and mayonnaise and gently toss until well mixed.
-
Step 2Season with salt & pepper;
-
Step 3Cill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight before serving.
-
Step 4Preheat a large heavy skillet over medium flame; lightly butter both sides of each bun and cook for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
-
Step 5When toasted, stuff them with the chilled lobster salad and serve immediately.
-
Step 6NOTE: when celery is chopped, it tends to release its natural moisture, which can water down the lobster salad and make it soupy. To avoid this, chop the celery, wrap it in a dry paper towel or several paper towels, and place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, allowing the towel to absorb any excess moisture.
