Vegan Lobster Roll
Description
Vegan lobster roll, yes you heard us right! You can make a delicious “lobster” roll that tastes similar to the real thing. The secret: hearts of palm replace the lobster meat. Stuff the filling in a hot, grilled hoagie roll and you’ve got a summer time favorite without any use of animal products.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can hearts of palm
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 medium scallion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 hoagie rolls
- Lettuce, for serving
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut the whole hearts of palm on an angle to create “lobster-like” pieces.
- Whisk together the celery, lemon juice, vegan mayo, scallions, parsley, salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Add the cut hearts of palm and toss it in the mayonnaise mixture until they are completely coated. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
- Split open the rolls and press them down to open them as wide as you can. Add the vegan butter to a skillet or grill pan and heat on medium-high heat. Press the rolls into the pan over the melted butter and toast until golden brown.
- Stuff each roll with half of the “lobster” mixture and lettuce if you wish. Top with more chopped scallion and parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
