Lobster Sliders Paired With Jost Tidal Bay
Feel like going on a picnic? These lobster sliders from the Seagrape Café at Jost Vineyards will bring your lunch to the next level. Made with local produce and Jost Tidal Bay, all that’s missing from this recipe is sunny skies.
Ingredients:
| 1 lb | fresh cooked Nova Scotia lobster, broken into pieces* |
| 1/4 cup | mayonnaise |
| 1 | stalk of celery, diced very fine |
| 1 tsp | lemon juice |
| salt and pepper to taste | |
| 2 tbsp | butter |
| 6 | slider rolls |
| 1 cup | fresh greens |
| 6 | cherry tomatoes |
Directions (serves 4-6):
- In a bowl, gently mix the fresh cooked lobster, mayonnaise, celery, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Take care not to overwork the mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Butter the cut side of each slider roll and place them, buttered side down, in the pan. Fry rolls until lightly golden, about 1 minute, and transfer to a work surface.
- Place a cluster of fresh greens on the bottom half of each slider roll. Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of lobster mixture on top of greens, then top with the other half of the slider roll.
- Garnish with a toothpick-skewered cherry tomato, and serve, immediately, with a chilled bottle of Jost Tidal Bay.
