MC Perkins Cove Lobster Roll
- 8 cups water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 4 live lobsters (about 1 1/4 pounds each)
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (recipe below)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 top-loading hot dog buns
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chervil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- 5 large egg yolks
- juice from 1 lemon, about 3 tablespoons
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Combine the egg yolks and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
- Process the mixture for 20 seconds.
- With the machine running, add both of the olive oils, drop by drop, and then slowly increase to a steady stream as the eggs and oil become emulsified.
- If the mixture gets very thick, thin it with a teaspoon of ice water.
- The consistency should be a little thinner than store-bought mayonnaise.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
