LOBSTER ROLLS
I grew up in Nova Scotia where seafood was cheap. My Mom and grandmothers had some pretty inventive ways of making lobster 'not-boring!' Now, lobster is a treat and costs a fortune. I've paid over ten dollars for one of these lobster rolls in Cape Cod and it wasn't half as good or half as big as the ones my Mom taught me to make. This is a wonderful summer (or winter) treat and makes a fancy luncheon to impress your friends. (And no, I don't eat the green stuff in the lobster!)

Steps:
- Crack the lobsters open using the back of a chef's knife or a lobster cracker. Do this carefully so the shells don't break into a lot of small pieces. Or, ask your fishmonger to remove the shells. Pull out the lobster meat and discard the shells. Roughly chop the meat into 2cm pieces, then put in a bowl, cover and chill until needed.
- Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, most of the chives and cayenne together in a small bowl. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice if needed. Toss the lobster with the dressing.
- Slice a thin piece off the sides of each bun, then split them open, being careful not to cut all the way through. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the buns for 1-2 mins on the cut sides until golden and toasted. Pile the lobster filling into rolls, then sprinkle with another pinch of cayenne and the reserved chives. Eat alongside some ready salted crisps, if you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh lobster meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lobster, frozen lobster meat is a good substitute.
- Be sure to cook the lobster meat properly. Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy, so cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
- Use a good quality curry paste. The curry paste is what gives the lobster rolls their flavor, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of curry paste. There are many different types of curry paste available, so you can find one that suits your taste. Some popular types of curry paste include red curry paste, green curry paste, and yellow curry paste.
- Serve the lobster rolls immediately after they are made. The lobster rolls are best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Curried lobster rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make curried lobster rolls that will impress your friends and family.
