Lobster Club Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the walnut bread under a salamander until golden brown. Spread 1/2 ounce of mayonnaise on two slices of the bread.
• In a small sauté pan, heat up the butter. Add the lobster to the pan and remove from the heat to gently poach warm.
• Toss the arugula in a small bowl with the house dressing to slightly coat. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the arugula evenly on the bread slices with the mayonnaise. On one of those slices, place the tomatoes and the bacon. Place the second slice of bread with arugula on top of the bacon, and arrange the warm lobster evenly on top. Top with the third slice of bread.
• Finish with two caperberries skewered onto each side of the sandwich. Carefully slice the sandwich in half with a serrated knife.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the sherry vinegar, and whisk; then whisk in the olive oil.

Steps:

• Slice lobster meat from tail and claws into crosswise pieces, about 3/4 inch thick. Spread the mayonnaise on the brioche slices, and place them in a row on your work surface. Arrange half the tomato slices, greens, bacon, and lobster between two slices of brioche.
• To assemble, stack the second layer on top of the first with ingredients facing up. Place the last piece of brioche, mayonnaise side down, on top of the second layer. Pierce opposite corners of the sandwich's top layer with lobster picks or decorative toothpicks. Slice the sandwich on the diagonal with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• To make the mayonnaise, place the egg, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce in a blender and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow steady stream, blending until mixture is emulsified. Add the tarragon and salt and blend until combined. (Mayonnaise can be made a few hours ahead, covered and refrigerated.)
• Spread mayonnaise over the bottom of each roll. Top with a piece of lettuce, then the lobster meat and bacon. Cover with the roll tops and serve.
