Time 40m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, such as Nodine's
1/2 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1/4 cup ketchup, such as Heinz
1 tablespoon sweet relish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ripe Hass avocados, pitted and peeled
Juice of 1 lemon
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices good bakery white bread, lightly toasted (see Cook's Note)
4 large Bibb, Boston, or butter lettuce leaves
4 (1/4-inch-thick) ripe red tomato slices (1 large tomato)
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, sliced (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Roast the bacon for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, for the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl and set aside. Slice the avocados crosswise 1/4 inch thick, place the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice, toss gently, and set aside.
  • To assemble, place 4 slices of toast on a board and slather them generously with the dressing. On each sandwich, place first a lettuce leaf, then a layer of avocado, then a slice of tomato. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cut a slice of bacon in half and place both halves on the tomato. Top with a quarter of the lobster. Generously spread more sauce on the remaining 4 slices of toast and place them, sauce side down, on the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
3 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups tomato puree
1/4 cup cream
1 pound linguine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 cup baby arugula, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Two 1 1/2-pound lobsters, steamed, meat removed

Steps:

  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the salt, tomato puree and cream; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 1 minute less than the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese directly on the naked pasta and toss to coat in sauce. Add up to 1 cup of the pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Stir in the arugula, basil, tarragon, peas and lobster meat; simmer until everything is heated through, 1 minute. Serve with additional Parmesan if desired.
