the little BIG explorers

Nova Scotia, with its rugged coastline and rich maritime heritage, offers a treasure trove of culinary delights for the adventurous foodie. One dish that stands out amidst the waves is the iconic Nova Scotia Lobster Roll.

Picture this: succulent chunks of fresh lobster meat, delicately mixed with creamy mayonnaise, zesty lemon juice, and crunchy celery, all nestled in a warm, buttery bun. It’s a taste sensation that captures the essence of Nova Scotia’s coastal charm in every bite.

What makes Nova Scotia Lobster Rolls truly special is the quality of the main ingredient – lobster freshly harvested from the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re dining at a seaside shack or a gourmet restaurant, you can expect nothing but the best when it comes to this maritime delicacy.

To recreate the magic of Nova Scotia’s lobster rolls in your own kitchen, follow our simple recipe. Start with cooked lobster meat, chopped and mixed with a tangy mayo dressing, then spooned into toasted split-top buns for the perfect crunch.

It’s a dish that’s as easy to make as it is delightful to eat.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat, chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 split-top hot dog buns
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Lettuce leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Place lettuce leaves (if using) on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
4. Divide the lobster mixture evenly among the buns, spooning it onto the lettuce leaves.
5. Serve the lobster rolls immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
