LOBSTER CLUB GREEN ONION DRESSING, CRISPY HAM, ARUGULA
The standard club sandwich layers turkey or chicken with bacon. Dressed up with lobster salad and thin slices of country ham, this sandwich is anything but standard. The fresh green
onion dressing, both a component of the lobster salad and spread on the bread, has real impact in flavor and in presentation. The sandwich is amazing served on buttery, slightly spicy
Chipotle Brioche, but a good-quality white Pullman loaf will certainly do in a pinch. Serve with a side of Barbecued Potato Chips to complete the Bar Americain experience.Serves 4
½ cup canola oil
thin slices country ham
¾ cup mayonnaise
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
heaping tablespoon whole grain mustard
small stalk celery, thinly sliced
green onions, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
¼ cup finely diced red onion
¼ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ pounds cooked fresh lobster meat, chopped
(½-inch-thick) slices Chipotle Brioche, lightly toasted
Green Onion Dressingounce arugula leaves
1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Working in batches, carefully add 2 slices of the ham at a time and cook
until crispy on both sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, both mustards, the celery, green onions, red onion, and parsley in a medium bowl and season with salt
and pepper. Fold in the lobster meat.
3. Spread each slice of bread with some of the
Green Onion Dressing. Divide half of the arugula among 4 slices of the bread. Top the arugula with some of
the lobster salad and a slice of crisp ham. Place the remaining arugula on top of the ham and top with the remaining bread.
