Plant-Based "Lobster" Rolls

I tried this recipe and love it for a quick and easy to make meal with lots of flavor. These rolls are nutritionally quite different than an actually lobster roll, but this plant-based version looks and has a similar texture and is delicious. Made with fresh vegan mayonnaise created in the NutraMilk, hearts of palm instead of lobster and spices. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp. sweet paprika
• ½ tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
• 3 hearts of palm
• 3 tbsp. plain vegan mayo
• Sriracha to taste (depending on how spicy you like it), we used 1 teaspoon.
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. chopped dill
• ½ tbsp. capers, well drained (or to taste)
• 2 whole wheat hot dog buns (gluten-free if you like)

For vegan mayonnaise

• ½ cup raw almonds
• 1 clove garlic
• ½-¾ cup water
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice, fresh

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making mayonnaise and set aside:

  • Press Butter cycle, set for 12-13 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • Add garlic, water, vegetable oil , and lemon juice and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
    

• Combine the sweet paprika and Old Bay on a medium plate/bowl.
• Roll each heart of palm on the spice mix until completely coated.

• Cut each heart of palm into ½ inch pieces (you'll get about 5 pieces per heart if you find large hearts) and set aside.
• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, sriracha, lemon juice, dill and capers. Add the hearts of palm and mix gently.

• Fill each roll with the mixture right before serving.
