Tarragon Lobster Salad

"From Gourmet magazine, July, 2001 by Melissa Roberts-Matar. "This lobster salad is wonderful on its own-but piled onto a hot dog bun it becomes a perfect lobster roll. The lobsters may be cooked and shelled 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. The salad can also be made a day ahead of serving. Keep covered and chilled."

  • Plunge 2 live lobsters headfirst into an 8 quart pot of boiling salted water.
  • Loosely cover pot and cook over moderately high heat for 9 minutes from the time they entered the water, then transfer with tongs to sink to cool.
  • Return water to a boil and repeat with the next 2 lobsters.
  • While the lobsters are cooking, combine shallot, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • When lobsters are cool, remove meat from lobster, discard tomalley, roe (if any) and shells.
  • Cut meat into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, tarragon, and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper into shallot mixture.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
