THIS IS A GREAT APPETIZER!!! We ordered this at a Spanish restaurant in Baltimore many years ago and after getting a partial list of ingredients from the chef and many attempts of making it, I finally came up with this fantastic recipe. Ingredients:
48 large green mussels |
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup fresh parsley |
6 fresh garlic cloves |
1 large shallot |
1/8 cup lemon juice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Scrub the mussels under the faucet and remove the beards and then set aside.
2. In a 6 quart saucepot place butter, wine, lemon juice and water and bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Add the mussels and return to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 3 minutes or until mussels are opened.
5. With a slotted spoon remove mussels to 4 deep serving dishes and set aside.
6. Place the liquid into a blender or food processor and add the parsley, garlic cloves, shallot, salt and pepper and blend well.
7. Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve with a crusty bread, so that you can dip the bread into the sauce.
