  • Butter
  • Celery leaves (to garnish)
  • Get yourself a muslin bag, and add the pickling spices, coriander seeds, and peppercorns. In a small saucepan, heat up the vinegar, sugar, and the bag of spices. Add the celery, bring it up to a simmer, then remove it from the heat. Allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix the lobster chunks, the tarragon, mayo, and lemon juice in a bowl. Drain the celery, add to the bowl, and season well with salt and pepper. Butter the rolls, stuff with the lobster mayo, dress with celery leaves, and serve.
