New York City Restaurant’s Famous Vegan Lobster Roll Recipe

New York City Restaurant’s Famous Vegan Lobster Roll Recipe

@Tribeca'sKitchen

Lobster rolls are a summer staple, especially in the North East in Maine, Cape Cod, and New York. Although the dish is not vegan, there are different ways to make a plant-based version using meat alternatives, vegetables, or chickpeas.

In this recipe, by Tribeca's Kitchen, a popular diner in New York, the restaurant shared a vegan lobster roll with The Beet. It's made with two different kinds of mushrooms: Lobster and Shitake. The meaty texture of the mushrooms mocks the taste of lobster and the garlic oil and chives combine for a fresh aftertaste. Now you can enjoy a vegan version of a summer tradition at Tribeca's Kitchen or in the comfort of your own home.
