I decided to pick up some lobster meat on the way home because I was getting home late and was sick of takeout so I needed something quick and easy. Who am I kidding? I was just looking for an excuse to make something with lobster. I thought I was in luck and the lobster was on sale...unfortunately, I didn't realize until the cashier rung me up that I read the sign wrong and my lobster was actually quite pricey. Too late! Once I spent more than I originally bargained for, I needed to think of a way to stretch the meal and make the most of my expensive purchase.
To make the lobster go further, I kept it in large chunks and mixed it with broccoli slaw, a little mayo, lemon, salt, pepper, and a little Asian chili oil. Served just like that as a salad is great, but I piled it into a hamburger bun and found it made a great sandwich. The picture is a little deceiving - it really was more lobster than slaw. It's not supposed to be a lobster roll but if it was, it would be a pretty good version. Plus, a lobster roll will run you about $14 each, but this works out to about $10 per sandwich so I can feel better about splurging on the expensive meat.
