      CHRS: CP437 2       MSGID: 1:320/219@fidonet 57051fc8       PID: MBSE-BBS 1.1.2 (Linux-x86_64)       TZUTC: -0400       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.1.2 (Linux-x86_64)       MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06                Title: Connecticut-Style Warm Buttered Lobster Rolls        Categories: Five, Seafood, Breads, Vegetables        Yield: 4 Servings                4 (1 1/2 lb ea) lobsters        8 tb Butter        8 Top-split hot dog buns; pref        - Pepperidge Farm brand        1/4 c Fine sliced scallion greens        - or chives        Salt & fresh ground pepper                Kill each lobster by pressing the tip of a heavy chef's        knife in the crack just behind the eyes in the center of        the carapace. Press down firmly, then split head in half.        Using kitchen towels, twist off tail and claws (including        knuckles) from carapace. Save carapace for another use.        Press each tail flat against the cutting board and insert        wooden skewers along their entire length to keep them        straight.                Place a steamer insert in the bottom of a large lidded        stock pot and add 1-inch of water. Bring to a boil over        high heat. Add a single layer of lobster claws and legs        (about half the lobster) and cover pot. Let steam for        exactly two minutes. Transfer lobsters to sink and set        under running cold water. Return liquid to a boil and        repeat with remaining lobster tails and claws.                As soon as lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat        from shell using kitchen shears, lobster crackers, and/or        the back of a heavy cleaver to help crack the shells (It's        OK if the meat gets a little mangled). Roughly chop into        bite-sized pieces and set on double layer of paper towels        to drain.                Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy bottomed 12-inch        skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl to coat pan. Add four        buns with one cut side down. Cook, pressing on buns gently        and moving them around the pan until golden brown on first        side. Remove from pan, add another tablespoon of butter,        and toast second side. Repeat with second batch of buns.                Melt remaining butter in skillet over medium heat. As soon        as butter is melted, add lobster meat. Cook, tossing        constantly and using a spoon to gently fold meat and        butter over itself int he skillet until lobster is mostly        opaque (butter should not sizzle), about 3 minutes. Add        scallion greens and continue to cook until lobster is        cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Season to taste        with salt and pepper.                Divide lobster filling evenly between rolls. Spoon excess        juices over each roll. Serve immediately.                Note: I prefer using smaller 1 to 1 1/2 pound lobsters        rather than larger ones. Lobster carapaces can be        discarded or frozen and saved to make stock. If you don't        have the stomach to knife your lobsters to death, you can        boil them whole in step 2, separating the claws and tails        before placing them in the oven.                Posted by J.
