I doubt I will be able to make this recipe any time soon as I have never seen mussels for sale here, but I will be watching for them! From the *Best Seafood Recipes* cookbook of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series, this easy-fix recipe is for your grilling pleasure & the pic looked amazing! (Time does not include time for skewers to soak or marinate in refrigerator & cooking time has been *guesstimated* , so use your best judgment) *Enjoy* Ingredients:
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons tomato sauce (or bottled chili sauce for extra tang) |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce |
1 kg mussels (2.2 lbs, should be a rough 48 ct) |
16 slices bacon |
Directions:
1. If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 min prior to assembling skewers. Skip this step if using metal skewers.
2. For the Glaze: Combine all ingredients, mix well & set aside.
3. For the Skewers: Cook mussels in lrg saucepan of water, remove from shells & set aside.
4. Cut ea bacon slice into 3 equal pieces, wrap ea mussel in a cut bacon piece & thread onto skewers.
5. Using a pastry brush, brush all exposed surfaces of the bacon-wrapped mussels w/the glaze mix & turn skewers as needed to get full coverage.
6. Place skewers in a dish lrg enough to hold them in a single layer & refrigerate for 1 hour.
7. Grill skewers till bacon is crisp & mussels tender. Brush occ w/remaining glaze during cooking.
8. NOTE: The pic showed the yield as 8 skewers w/6 bacon-wrapped mussels on ea skewer, so serve 1 skewer as an appy or 2 skewers as a main course.
