Mussel Recipe

[Storm]

This is one of my favorite mussel recipes from Great Eastern Mussel Farm's website (no longer in existence). The recipe works equally well for shrimp, scallops, calamari, lobster, or all of the above. I like to combine several.

Ingredients:

1-1/3 lbs. angel hair pasta. I prefer linguini
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, or whateva
3 cloves garlic, minced. I cheat and use the pre-minced in jars
2 medium jalapeno peppers, de-seeded and finely chopped. Again, I cheat and use canned jalapenos
2 tsp. fresh rosemary leaves
1 cup Chardonnay
2 lbs. mussels
1/2 cup heavy cream. Hmmm.. does a half cup of light cream weigh the same as a half cup of heavy cream?
1 cup of jack or swiss cheese, grated and tossed in a bag with 1 Tbsp. flour to coat. I always opt for monterey jack.

Instructions:

Cook pasta. Drain, then toss with olive oil. Put pasta in large serving dish and keep warm. In large pot, saute garlic, onions, jalapenos, and rosemary w/ the butter for one minute. Add wine and mussels. Turn heat to high and steam for 3 minutes until shells open. Remove mussels with slotted spoon and arrange in shells over pasta. I do the half-shell method. Keep warm. Add cheese and cream to contents in pot. Simmer until sauce starts to thicken, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour over mussels and pasta. Serve with crusty bread.


One of my favorites. Glad I copied the recipe before the company went belly up.
