All the taste you love about lobster rolls — plant-based!
1 package of plant-based lobster balls (we used Loving Hut brand), thawed
1 pat of butter
½ cup mayonnaise (we used Vegenaise)
2 stalks celery, diced
1 tsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 New England split-top buns or regular hot dog buns
Put a pat of butter in a nonstick pan and warm to medium heat. Add the lobster balls and pan-fry for about 10 minutes, tossing the pieces occasionally to ensure an even cook. Once the balls are cooked through, remove from heat and let cool on a plate.
While the lobster balls cool, add the mayonnaise and celery to a mixing bowl and set aside. Once the lobster balls are cool, dice each one into four pieces – they need not be uniform! Then add them to the mixing bowl as well and top with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix to ensure everything is evenly coated and let stand.
Finally, butter four buns and place them in the oven on a baking sheet, open-faced. Heat for 10 minutes at 350.
When the buns are ready, top each one with a generous serving of the lobster roll filling, add some side items of your choice to fill out the meal and dig in!
