Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Lobster meat, cooked and chopped into big, bite-friendly chunks Fresh cooked whole lobster is ideal, but frozen lobster meat can also be used.

  • 4 tablespoons Butter Plus a little extra for toasting the buns.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 1 Lemon (for serving) A squeeze or a few wedges.
  • optional Chopped chives or a tiny sprinkle of parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the lobster into chunky pieces.
  2. In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add a pinch of salt and a little black pepper.
  3. Add the lobster to the butter and stir gently. Let it warm for a couple of minutes until glossy.
  4. In another skillet, melt a little butter and toast the sides and inside of the buns until golden.
  5. Pile the lobster into the buns. Spoon extra butter over the top if desired, finish with chives, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a successful lobster roll, keep the cooking gentle to avoid rubbery lobster. Serve with light sides to balance the richness.
