Curried Lobster Roll

 

                    The bun is key : don't let anyone talk you into anything but a top-split hot dog roll. Serve with coleslaw.

Serves 2

• 1whole lobster (1 pound), cooked (about 1 cup lobster meat)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 hot dog rolls
• 2 leaves Bibb lettuce (optional)

1. Chop the lobster meat into bite-size pieces.
2. Combine the lobster, enough mayonnaise to coat, lime juice and curry powder in a bowl and stir to combine.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and toast the rolls until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side ; transfer the rolls to serving plates, place a leaf of lettuce into the crook of each bun, and divide the lobster mixture between the two.
4. Serve immediately.
