New England Lobster Rolls


For lunch this weekend, I made these sumptuous lobster roll sandwiches. My kids enjoyed these sandwiches very much. We headed outdoors, to one of the lovely parks here in Vancouver as the weather this spring have been just great! :-)


Recipe adapted from The Dean & Deluca Cookbook

New England Lobster Rolls


Ingredients

1 lb Cooked Lobster Meat, cut into coarse chunks (approximately 2 cups)
1/4 Cup Celery, cut into the size of gambling dice
1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
Pinch of Sweet Paprika
Butter for greasing the griddle and the buns
4 Hot Dog Buns

Method

Blend the lobster meat in a bowl with celery and mayonnaise. Add a few drops of cold water to smooth out the mixture. Season well with salt and pepper, and add the paprika. Place in refrigerator until mixture is very cold.

Grease a griddle or a cast iron skillet over moderate heat with a little butter. Open the hot dog buns (without separating the two halves of each one). Smear a little butter on the outside of each bun, then place them on the hot griddle or in the hot skillet, spread open, exterior side down. Place a weight on the buns (a heavy pan will do). Cook until the exteriors are golden, about 1 minute. Remove buns.

Fill each bun with one fourth of the lobster mixture, sprinkle with paprika, and serve immediately.

Raw Energy Bars~Chocolate, Cashew, And Almond

I get energized everytime I make Raw Energy Bars at home. I have tried several recipes and flavors before; but, this Chocolate, Cashew, and Almond flavor is currently my favorite! It's made from scratch using raw ingredients, such as Medjool dates, cashew, almond, cocoa, and coconut. You will be amazed with the end result. Not only are these bars good for you, they also taste great! So, if you are into raw energy bars, then you may want to try this recipe. If possible, please send me your feedback as well. Have a great weekend.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
