sea food recipe... very delicious... Ingredients:
200 g lean bacon |
2 large shallots, thinly sliced |
1 large jalapeno, thinly sliced into rings, seeds removed |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
14 ounces plum tomatoes, drained and finely chopped or 1/2 lb of fresh plum tomato, finely chopped |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
3 1/2 lbs mussels, scrubbed and debearded |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. Cook the bacon in a large, heavy pan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Pour off all but two tablespoons of the fat. Add the shallots and jalapeno, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add the wine and ketchup and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
2. Increase the heat to high and add the mussels. Cover and cook, shaking the pan a few times until the mussels open, about 5 minutes.
3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to four large shallow bowls. Off heat, stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and butter. Ladle the sauce over the mussels.
