ingredients
- 4 slices pancetta, thinly sliced (or bacon)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- vegetable oil, if needed to cook the pancetta, omit if using bacon
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup mango, diced
- 1⁄4 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus extra for spreading on bread if desired
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1⁄4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained, cut into thin strips
- 8 fresh basil leaves, cut into think strips
- 6 slices whole wheat bread, lightly toasted
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
directions
- Brush honey over pancetta slices, heat a skillet over fairly high heat, add a tiny drop of oil and cook pancetta just a few seconds on each side until it gets crispy (be careful not to burn -- it burns very, very easily), drain on paper towels.
- Combine lobster, mango, cucumbers, mayo, salt and pepper to taste.
- In another bowl, mix together lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, and basil.
- Grab some long toothpicks and 2 plates -- you will be stacking 2 sandwiches.
- Spread a little extra mayo on 2 of the toast slices (if desired), then top each with the lobster mixture, another piece of toast on top of that, then the lettuce mixture,the pancetta, then the remaining toast pieces.
- Stick 2 long toothpicks into each sandwiches to hold them together, then use a serrated knife to cut each sandwich into halves (with a toothpick holding together each half).
- (If you don't have toothpicks that are long enough, try a bamboo skewer instead).
- Remove toothpicks before eating.

This was a delicious unique sandwich. The flavor of the lobster and mango mixture was so good. I had used pancetta because my friend doesn't like bacon. I had also bought 2 lobster tails which I steamed and it had the right amount I needed. I found it easier to dice the sun dried tomatoes rather than slicing. I had bought Chicago Italian bread and it worked out perfectly, I just lightly toasted it in the oven under the broiler for a few seconds each side. Thanks HeatherFeather for this great recipe.
