Open-Faced Lobster

This lighter take on the lobster roll exchanges the mayo for a lemon-avocado puree and the usual buttered roll for a slice of grilled bread.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole lobsters (1 3/4 pounds each)
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 ripe Hass avocado
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices rustic Italian bread, grilled or toasted
2 cups watercress
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Garnish: finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Plunge lobsters into water headfirst, and simmer, covered, for 11 minutes. (Do not let water boil.) Transfer to ice-water bath using tongs. Let stand for 10 minutes to cool.
  • Crack lobster claws, knuckles, and tails, and remove meat. Chop meat into chunks.
  • Toast fennel seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute; grind. Transfer to a food processor; pulse with avocado, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some pepper until smooth.
  • Spread avocado mixture onto bread; top with watercress. Arrange lobster meat on top, and sprinkle with remaining scallions. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon lemon juice and the oil. Garnish with lemon zest.

I wasn't sure how I would like the avocado spread, but it was actually really good! It added a nice creaminess to the lobster rolls.

These lobster rolls were amazing! The avocado spread was the perfect complement to the lobster, and the rolls were toasted to perfection.
