APPETIZER MUSSELS



Appetizer Mussels image

What timing! Although I have eaten mussels many times, October 17 was the very first time I cooked them, and (if I do say so myself!) they were great. A friend and I ate every last one, and he raved about the flavor the whole time. This is my own recipe.

MEXICAN SEAFOOD COCKTAIL



Mexican Seafood Cocktail image

Given a choice, I'd really rather be eating a Mexican cóctel de mariscos, a tall glass filled with seafood and topped up with an extraordinary tomato salsa spiked with jalapeños and serranos, chopped onion and fresh lime juice. Whenever my travels in Mexico take me to coastal regions, I always stop by at least one beach restaurant to indulge in this stellar concoction. It is known there, aptly, as vuelve a la vida, or "return to life," whether for a diner in need of restoration or as a morning-after hangover cure.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium tomatoes, about 1 pound
2 jalapeño chiles
Salt
Pinch of pimentón or chipotle chile powder
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 pound mussels, scrubbed
8 large shrimp, shell-on
1/2 pound squid, sliced in thin rings
Juice of 2 limes, plus 4 lime wedges for serving
1/4 pound cooked crab meat
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
4 scallions, slivered
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat a stovetop grill or charcoal barbecue to high (or use broiler if desired). Place tomatoes and chiles on grill and allow to char, turning to black on all sides, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature; do not peel. Chop tomatoes in quarters and place in jar of a blender. Cut stems off chiles, then cut them lengthwise. Remove seeds if desired. Add chiles to blender jar, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pimentón and 1 cup water. Blend to a rough purée, then pour into a bowl and let cool. You should have about 3 cups.
  • Put the clams and 1 cup water in a wide skillet with lid. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Cover and let cook until all clams have opened, about 5 minutes. Transfer clams and cooking juices to a large bowl and let cool. Repeat process with mussels, adding another 1 cup water to pan. Transfer to another bowl (separate from clams).
  • Put shrimp in the wide skillet and cover with well-salted water. Place pan over high heat and bring to a simmer, then cook 1 minute. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and let cool. Add squid to the same pan with simmering water and let cook just until firm, about 30 seconds. Drain squid and let cool.
  • Pluck clams and mussels from their shells, reserving clam juice. Peel and devein shrimp and cut in half lengthwise.
  • Thin tomato sauce with 1/2 cup clam juice. (Save mussel juice for another use; refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze it.) Add lime juice and adjust seasoning. Ladle a little sauce into 4 wide glasses or bowls. Add clams, mussels, shrimp, squid and crab meat to each glass. Add chopped onion and scallion to each glass, then top with remaining sauce. Gently stir with a teaspoon to distribute ingredients. Chill well. Just before serving, garnish with sliced serrano chile and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels. Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels with broken shells or that are open.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly. Before cooking, soak the mussels in cold water for 30 minutes to remove any sand or grit. Then, use a scrubbing brush to clean the shells.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods. Mussels can be steamed, boiled, grilled, or fried. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite way to cook them.
  • Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the mussels with a variety of dipping sauces. Mussels are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as lemon butter, garlic butter, or white wine sauce.

Conclusion:

Mussels are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be cooked in a variety of ways. They are a good source of protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. When buying mussels, look for fresh mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking, and do not overcook them. Serve the mussels with a variety of dipping sauces and enjoy!
