Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole lobsters (1.5 pounds each) Maine lobster
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks, finely diced celery
- 0.25 cup, finely diced red onion
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the whole lobsters and cook for 9-12 minutes, until the shells are bright red and the meat is cooked through.
Remove the lobsters from the pot and allow them to cool down slightly. Crack open the claws, tails, and joints to extract all the meat. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, finely diced celery, red onion, and fresh chives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ghee, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Pour this mixture over the lobster and vegetables.
Season the lobster mixture with salt and ground black pepper. Gently stir until the ingredients are well coated.
Spread out four large romaine lettuce leaves on a plate (two leaves per roll). Spoon equal portions of the lobster mixture onto each pair of leaves.
Roll or tuck the sides of the romaine leaves around the lobster filling to form a 'roll'. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Maine Lobster Roll!
