Lobster Rolls - Super Bowl Food!


In 2018 it was the Patriots and the Eagles. So the food the Today Show recommended was the Lobster Rolls, for the Patriots and Philly Cheese Steak Subs for the Eagles. So I've included both recipes, with a few minor adjustments. I'm not a big fan of tarragon, so the fennel worked well.
These were delicious - one or two per person.

Makes 8 - 10 lobster rolls

Ingredients:

4 cups of cooked lobster meat, cut into 1/2" chunks
(about 8 lobster tails)

2 celery stalks, finely chopped

2 TBS finely diced dill pickle

2 TBS finely chopped parsley

2/3 cup mayonnaise

2 tsp finely minced tarragon, or 1/2 tsp finely chopped fennel seeds

2 tsp lemon zest

salt & pepper

8 - 10 slider rolls (small)

Unsalted butter, melted for grilling the buns

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the lobster meat with the mayo, celery, pickles, parsley and tarragon/fennel and the lemon zest.  Stir to combine and add the salt & pepper. Refrigerate. This can be made a few hours ahead.

Slice the rolls in half and lightly butter each cut side.  Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the rolls in the skillet, cut side down, and fast until golden.

Place the rolls on a platter and scoop about 1/4 cup of lobster mix onto the bottom halves.
Cover with the top halves and serve.
