Classic Maine Lobster Roll

June 30, 2015

Lobster rolls are a luxury.  This simple sandwich is an example of pure decadence.  Succulent chunks of lobster are mixed with chives, lemon juice and mayonnaise before it piled high into a buttered roll with fresh basil and lettuce.  I know lobster is pricey so save this meal for a special summer occasion.  It is best enjoyed on the beach with a beer and potato chips.
