In preparation for our trip to the East coast, Ward’s been scouting out various seafood and fish recipes. Yesterday the July 2009 issue of Gourmet magazine arrived; featured on the front cover is a delectable lobster roll. Unlike other lobster rolls we’ve tasted, this one doesn’t use mayonnaise – Ward’s not particularly fond of mayonnaise, and the rest of us love lobster, so tonight he decided to make these lobster rolls with lemon vinaigrette and garlic butter.

And because we’ve all become very fond of Ward’s homemade hamburger buns, he decided to make larger ones, to take the place of the hotdog buns used in the Gourmet recipe.

Homemade Rolls Fresh Out of the Oven

Yes, they made for very large lobster rolls, but they were sturdy enough for the lobster filling:

These were the gigantic lobster rolls we sat down to for dinner tonight:

Partnered with barbequed corn on the cob dripping with cilantro and garlic butter, it was a fine meal indeed. We will definitely be taking this recipe with us to Nova Scotia on our holidays!
