Lobster Roll with Citrus Fennel Tapenade

40 Days-40 Days of Lenten Recipes

OK, we are on a pretty serious budget in our house. This is not something that is normal. But I found this deal on lobster tails, that I couldn't pass.  8 tails for the same price as a bag of shrimp. Seriously, going to make the most of this. 

What to do...what to do...?

Decided on two things to start. One is Lobster Bisque which is a recipe I will share soon. The second is this lobster roll. I started with making the tapenade. This can be used as a dip for crackers, pita chips and great with shellfish and in non-lenten times chicken or pork. 

Using green and black kalamata olives. Make sure they are pitted. A little preparation needs to happen, roasting the garlic, caramelize the onion. Process them and then the fun of adding it all together begins.

1/2 c green olives

1/2 c black kalamata olives

1 tsp fennel

1-2 cloves garlic, roasted

1/4 cup red onion, diced and caramelized

4 T olive oil

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp orange juice

Thaw and steam the tails. Remove the lobster meat and mix it together with tapenade. Delicious like this or right into the lobster roll. YUM!
