SUMMER FUN PROVISIONS STYLE!
The 4th of July always marks the real beginning of Summer for me. BBQ's, pool parties and weddings fill the months between now and September.  And if you need another holiday for an excuse to party, there is always, Bastille Day! It is the perfect excuse for a French inspired party.  If you don't have any plans, check out the official
And as always we are here to make every party fun and effortless for you.
          After all, Why should you cook?

 

 


Provisions New England Lobster Rolls


Every Summer we cater one of our favorite parties at Marvin & Keri Putnams house.

We try to change up the menu from year to year, but one thing we can't ever change is our Mini Lobster Rolls.   This recipe makes 12-16 portions, depending upon how generous you like to fill each roll!  

 

You can order special mini rolls from Natural Ovens or you can buy basic hot dog rolls and cut them in half.

 

We make these for over a hundred guests each year -that is a lot of lobster!!

 

In a large bowl combine the following: 

1 pound of cooked lobster meat, tail and claws

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/4 cup creme fraiche

1/8 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tsps grated lemon zest

2 tsps fresh chopped dill

2 tsps fresh chopped chives

1/2 tsp celery salt

1/2 tsp sea salt

 

Butter the inside of each roll and cook butter side down until golden brown.

Fill rolls with Lobster mixture.

 

Eat immediately with a beautiful Summer Rose.

And don't forget the Whoopie Pies!!
