Sarasota's Lobster Club With Savory Mayo and Hickory Bacon
- 16 ounces lobster tails, cooked and rough chopped approximately 2 tails
- 12 cup arugula mayonnaise (see below)
- 2 large tomatoes, thin sliced 4 slices per sandwich
- 1 small red onion, cut in half and very thin sliced
- 12 slices bacon, cooked crisp (I prefer a hickory or smoky flavor)
- 12 slices white bread
- 12 cup mayonnaise
- 13 cup arugula
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, and chopped
- 12 teaspoon lemon juice
- Lobster -- Now I bought my lobsters steamed from the deli, if yours are still raw, cook according to directions.
- I just like to steam for 4-8 minutes depending on the sides until the shells get nice and red and the meat is opaque.
- I put them in a ice water bath to stop the cooking process so they do not get over cooked.
- Then chill and then rough chop.
- Most grocers will steam them for you which is less work for you.
- Mayonnaise -- make this ahead.
- Just add everything in the food processor and puree until well combined.
- Then, just put in a bowl and refrigerate until later.
- Bacon -- I like the microwave method.
- Place on a paper plate with 2 paper towels 4 pieces, then another paper towel and 4 more pieces going the other direction, then 1 more towel and 4 more pieces.
- Top with 2 towels and cook 5 minutes.
- Check, it may need another minute or so, but how easy and now clean up.
- Nice and crisp.
- Just let cool and cut each piece in 1/3's.
- Sandwich time -- Toast the bread slightly.
- Now lets build the sandwich.
- Add the mayo on the first slice - Bacon - Tomato - Lobster - Onion - slices - Another bread slice but add mayo on each side - Repeat -- bacon - Tomato - Lobster - Onion - The top slice of bread with mayo on the inside.
- Make sure to spread generously with the mayo.
- Now 2 toothpicks in each half and cut on an angle.
- 1/2 is plenty for one person.
- It is a rich thick hearty sandwich.
