Mussels recipes

6 recipes

Here are my recipes with mussels — rice, soup, salad and snacks. A good place to start is pilaf with mussels, ready in 45 minutes, or a warm mussel and red bean salad.

How I cook mussels

Live mussels in their shells I cook in boiling broth under a lid for 5 minutes — any longer and the meat turns tough; the details are in how to cook mussels. For pilaf it is safer to buy ready-cleaned mussel meat. Shelled mussels also make fried mussels in batter — a 30-minute snack with cold beer.
