Lobster Sandwich:
Lobster Sandwich:
Okay, so my friend Mr Homard didn’t make it to dinner, as I got busy, instead I made him into an open face sandwich.
This is not your typical New England Style sandwich on hot dog buns, which was born from the fact that (A) I can’t stand Hot Dog Buns and (B) I had the Italian Bread on hand.
To say that this is an easy dish is a bit of an understatement, point of fact, there is almost zero clean up and you really aren’t doing a whole lot of technical cooking.
But hey, who cares cause sometimes the simplest things bring the greatest pleasure and this Sandy is sure to please.
Ingredients:
- Lobster ($20)
- 3 T Butter ($0.15)
- Chives ($0.10)
- 1/8 t of smoked paprika

- Take one live lobster and submerge it in 12 qt pot of boiling water lower to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from pot and let cool to room temp.
- Melt butter and cool. Mix in minced chives and paprika.
- Once the lobster has cooled, use a cleaver to crack the shell and remove all of the meat from the tail and the claws.
