Some local, Maritime mussels that I cooked when Travis and Rachel were here for a visit.
I know that a lot of people tend to be intimidated by cooking seafood, but these couldn’t be easier:
- Gently soften some onion, celery, and garlic in a bit of butter and olive oil in a big pot.
- Dump in a bottle of your favourite beer. I used a bottle of Garrison Irish Red this time around.
- Bring everything up to a gentle boil.
- Toss in your mussels, I used about 3.5 lbs. this time around and it handily fed the four of us for an appetizer.
- When the majority of the mussel shells are open, you’re done!
- Serve with melted butter and/or the broth that you cooked the mussels in.
