Vegan twist on classic lobster roll using parsnips from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's "Fake Meat" cookbook.
Ingredients:
  • For the roasted parsnips:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds (910 g) parsnips, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) chunks (see recipe note)
  • For the dressing:
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegan mayo, prepared or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon kelp powder
  • 3 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup (15 g) thinly sliced chives, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
  • For assembly:
  • Large split-top hot dog buns
  • Vegan butter, softened
  • Sweet paprika
  • 1/4 cup (11 g) thickly sliced chives
Instructions:
  • - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. - Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper onto the baking sheet. - Toss the parsnips in the seasoned oil until well coated. - Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, flipping occasionally, until tender and golden brown in spots. - Allow to cool before serving.
  • Prepare the dressing by combining mayo, lemon juice, kelp powder, capers, chives, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gently mix in the celery and cooled parsnips, then refrigerate the salad for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Toast the buns in a preheated large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes each. Butter the outside of each hot dog bun before placing them in the skillet.
  • Prepare: Stuff the buns with crisp, refreshing salad. Add a dash of vibrant paprika and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve alongside an abundance of napkins for a delightful snacking experience.
