I have had many people tell me these are the best mussels they've ever had! Great as a light summer meal served with crusty bread to dip in the left over sauce! Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs mussels, scrubbed & debearded (about 40) |
1 tablespoon butter |
5 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 cup diced tomato |
1/2 cup green onion, sliced |
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced |
2 -4 jalapenos or 2 -4 serrano peppers, sliced |
1/4 cup tequila |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, then next 5 ingredients. Add mussels. Cover and steam until mussels open, about 7 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open). Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large bowl. Simmer sauce uncovered until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.
2. Note: I put my veggies in the food processor and chop them up to make quick work of this one!
