The perfect lobster sandwich consists of sweet, yet simple bread, fennel, fresh herbs, butter, and perfectly cooked lobster. The magic is in the fennel.
Serves 2 people:
1.5 to 2 lbs of lobster
1/3 cup of butter (preferably organic; the taste is phenomenal)
1/2 cup of paper thin slices of fresh fennel
1/2 cup of fresh herbs (I vote coriander and chives; but, you can use whatever you like.)
pinch of salt
sliced bread (I go for sweet buttery bread. I even recommend trying it on a croissant.)
Optional (to change up flavours):
2 tsps of finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup of finely sliced cucumber
pinch of espelette
pinch of pink peppercorn
1. Steam live lobster. The rule: 7 min for first lbs and a minute to two more per lbs.
2. Melt butter at low heat.
3. In a bowl, add melted butter, fennel, herbs, and spices. (Add optional flavouring here too).
4. Remove the meat from the steamed lobster and cut it into generous chunks. Add to bowl mixture.
5. Once mixed, make sandwiches with the bread.
This will be the best lobster sandwich you have ever had.
