The ingredients needed to make Zesty Steamed Mussels:
- Take 1.5 Pounds fresh, live, PEI mussels
- Take 3 Strips , diced
- Make ready 1 shallot, finely diced
- Make ready 4 Cloves finely chopped garlic
- Prepare 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Prepare 1 Tsp cayenne pepper
- Get 2 Cups dry white (I use Pinot Grigio)
- Take 1/4 Cup fresh chopped parsley
- Make ready 1/4 Cup grated parmesan
- Get as needed olive oil
Instructions to make Zesty Steamed Mussels:
- Prepare the mussels for cooking as described in the recipe description above. To reiterate: it is VERY important to ensure that all of your mussels are alive before cooking. Any dead mussels should be discarded.
- Place the diced into a cold, large pot and turn on the heat to medium. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Starting the pan cold and adding the drizzle of olive oil will help the render its fat and become crispy. Fry the until it is about halfway cooked.
- Before the gets crispy, add the shallot and garlic and stir in well. You don’t want to add these any sooner or they will burn.
- Once the is well and truly crispy, add in lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
- Once combined, pour the mussels into the pot and ensure they are spread as evenly across the pot as possible. Pour the white over the mussels. The should touch every mussel in the pot though they do not need to actually be covered. You’re steaming them; not boiling them.
- Cover the pot tightly with the lid and allow to cook for about a minute to a minute and a half until all of the mussels have popped open. If there are any mussels which have not opened, these should be discarded but make sure you at least give them the chance. The mussels are cooked as soon as they open. Continuing to cook once they’ve opened will result in rubbery mussels.
- Give the mussels a quick but gentle stir to make sure that they’re all coated in the broth. Pour into a serving bowl with all the broth and top with grated parmesan. Serve immediately with bread to use for mopping up the broth.
