These grilled/broiled Mussels with Garlic and Fresh herbs are a real treat to every Seafood lover and Mussels Fan!
First cooked and then covered with some garlic-herb butter and some breadcrumbs or panko on top before putting them under a grill, these little treasures will blow your senses.
It’s a tiny bit of work but the reward is soooo huge you forget the effort the moment you have your first bite.
Serve as a appetizer or a meal, and make sure you have some fresh bread to serve aside…I promise you that you won’t stop dipping in the shelves until they are totally empty. Enjoy!
Ingredients (2 Persons)
2 Kg Mussels
½ Green Celery chopped
4 White Onions in rings
2 tsp White Pepper
2 tsp Salt
5 tbsp chopped Parsley
5 tbsp chopped Chives
200 gr Butter
600 ml Water
5 cloves Garlic
Breadcrumbs
Equipment
1 Cutting Board
1 Knife
1 large pot with top
Oven with grill function
Preparation
1. Wash the mussels in cold water.
2. With a good knife remove all the white dots and dirt from the mussels.
TIP: A good mussel should be sealed tight or at least seal itself when you hit it with the knife.
3. Second thing to watch is to carefully remove, if there, the ‘beard’ of the mussel which sometimes you find at the side of the mussel, cut this away.
4. Now take fresh water and wash the mussels again.
5. Take the pot, add the butter, water, chopped celery, sliced onions, the pepper, and salt, and put the mussels on top.
6. Put the top on the pot and put on a high fire.
7. After 3 minutes shake them up until your veggies are on top, put back on the fire for 2 minutes.
8. Shake up again, cook for 2 more minutes and shake up again before serving.
9. If you check the mussels, they should all be opened, if not cook for a minute longer till they open up.
TIP: When all opened, they are ready.
10. Take the mussels and remove 1 side of the shell, put them side by side on a plate.
TIP: Use some aluminium foil on top of the plate to create a rougher surface so the mussels can lay steady. Put them all on a plate or oven tray.
11. Mix the butter with the chopped garlic, chives, parsley, pepper and salt.
12. Cover the mussels with this herb butter. Sprinkle a bit of breadcrumbs over it and put under the grill for 3-5minutes depending on the power of your grill.
13. Serve with some bread. Enjoy!
