Sandwiches

[Lady Cop]

i love the Reuben and the Cuban sandwiches! yum, i got hooked on the Cubans & Cuban bread in Miami.

but...i must contribute my local favorite, the New England LOBSTER ROLL! it's not summer without them~

there are many variations of this classic between Cape Cod and the rocky coasts of NH and Maine.

1 tablespoon butter, softened
4 hot dog buns or kaiser rolls, split
4 lettuce leaves
1 ¹⁄₂ pounds cooked and cubed lobster meat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch dried basil, parsley or tarragon

Directions
toast those buns!
Lightly butter the insides of the buns or rolls and line with lettuce leaves. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper until well blended. Mix in the green onion and celery, then lightly mix in the lobster so it just gets coated without falling apart.
Stuff the lobster filling into the buns and sprinkle parsley, basil or tarragon lightly over the filling.
