Sure, you can live in Maine because the scenery is stunning, Portland is spectacular, and the beaches, coast, ocean are, well, beaches, coast and ocean. But the single best reason to live in Maine is that you can walk up to a food truck - just steps away from a lighthouse, and buy a lobster roll with meat caught from the sea only hours ago. For those of us who don’t live in Maine, pretending will have to do. Whip up one of these lobster sandwishes, close your eyes and listen for the sea as you take a bite of juicy lobster sweetness and spice. There are a zillion ways to season and dress lobster meat for rolls. Simple is best!

NOTE: 1 1/4 lb lobster, shelled = ¼ lb of meat. 5 lbs of lobster, shelled = 1 lb lobster meat.

WHAT’S IN IT

1 1/2 pounds of cooked lobster meat, chunked in bite sized pieces
2 T organic mayonnaise
1 t lemon juice
1 t Penzeys Sunny Paris spice (or sub your favorite)
½ t celery seed
1 T chives, finely chopped
Pinch of sea salt and pepper
Sourdough rolls or bread, sliced and toasted

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. In a small bowl, stir seasonings, herbs and lemon juice together with mayonnaise.

2. In a large bowl, combine chunked lobster meat with mayonnaise mixture. Refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours.

3. Just before serving, heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly brush outside of sourdough slices with ghee or avocado oil; transfer to skillet. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 60 seconds per side.

4. Spoon about 1/2 cup lobster mixture into each roll. Serve immediately.

ENJOY!
