Lobster Press Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Pickled Veg

    In a bowl, mix cucumber, carrots, red onion, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Make Lobster Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread. On the inside, spread a generous amount of the lobster mixture. Top with pickled vegetables, then close the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Press the Sandwich

    Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and use a heavy skillet to press down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Prepare Kettle Chips

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato slices in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pressed sandwich in half and serve with kettle chips on the side.
