TARRAGON LOBSTER ROLL



Tarragon Lobster Roll image

Nilou Motamed, Epicurious Editor-in-Chief, swears by this herb-infused lobster roll recipe inspired by her father-in-law Michael DePorte. When available, Nilou prefers soft-shell lobsters, or “shedders”, for their easy-to-crack shells (no tools required!) and sweet, tender meat. If you choose soft-shell lobsters, reduce the cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes. She also prefers filtered seawater as a cooking liquid, so if your fishmonger has it available, give it a try! Boiling lobsters in well-salted water is the next best thing.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Sandwich     Mayonnaise     Lobster     Summer     Tarragon     Sandwich Theory

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
3 live Maine lobsters, 1 1/4 pound each
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Dash cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 split-top, white hot dog buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add lobsters head first to water and cook, covered, until shells are bright red and an antennae or leg pulls off easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Crack one open where the tail meets the body of the lobster. The flesh should be firm, white, and opaque. If it is still translucent, then the lobster needs more time to finish cooking. Drain lobsters head down in a colander to release excess liquid.
  • When cool enough to handle, crack lobster shells and remove meat from tails, claws, and knuckles. Tear the meat by hand into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon, celery, tarragon, cayenne, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour over lobster meat and gently stir until lobster is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise if desired. Chill lobster mixture for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Spread cut sides of buns with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast buns, buttered side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per bun. Fill each bun with lobster mixture and sprinkle with an extra dash cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

KING CRAB LOUIE SANDWICH



King Crab Louie Sandwich image

Found in CuisineTonight Sandwiches and Salads. They serve it along with Tarragon& Green Bean-Potatoe Salad which I also posted. Cooking time is preparation and cooking.

Provided by mama smurf

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced green bell peppers
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 cups king crabmeat (10 oz)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
salt and pepper
6 soft sandwich buns, halved and toasted
6 bibb lettuce
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
6 slices pepper bacon, havled and cooked

Steps:

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, green bell pepper, lemon juice, ketchup, scallions, parsley and the horseradish for the dressing in a large bowl.
  • Fold in crabmeat, red bell pepper, and celery. Season with salt and pepper (I would use lemon-pepper).
  • To assemble: layer lettuce on bottom half of each roll, then top with avocado slices, crabmeat salad, 2 bacon strips and the top half of the sandwich roll.

Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat: Fresh or frozen crab meat can be used, but fresh crab meat will yield the best results.
  • Cook the crab meat properly: Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy. To avoid this, cook the crab meat just until it is opaque and white throughout.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a high-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some herbs and spices: To add some extra flavor to the crab salad, you can add some herbs and spices, such as tarragon, chives, dill, or Old Bay seasoning.
  • Don't overstuff the sandwiches: The crab salad sandwiches are best when they are served with a light filling. If you overstuff the sandwiches, they will be difficult to eat.

Conclusion:

Tarragon crab sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. Whether you are serving them for a picnic, a party, or a quick lunch, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit.
