LOBSTER ROLL

Lobster Roll

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound cooked lobster meat
• 4 stalks crisp, cold celery
• 1 to 1 ¼ cups Hellmann's mayonnaise
• 6 hot dog rolls, top-sliced (not side-sliced)
• Paprika (optional)
• Capers (optional)
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Cut the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Chop the celery into medium-fine pieces and stir into lobster. Stir in just enough mayonnaise to coat the lobster mixture.
2. As is traditional in Maine lobster shacks, fry the rolls in a skillet or on a griddle in butter. Otherwise, toast them on both sides under a broiler. Add the lobster salad and sprinkle with paprika and a few capers.
