"SEETHED" MUSSELS WITH PARSLEY AND VINEGAR



While 17th-century English diners had never heard of the word "appetizer," they certainly understood the idea of foods served in several large courses for formal or court dinners. For modern diners, however, this lovely 17th-century mussel recipe makes a perfect first course. After months of eating a sea diet of dried peas, oats, and salt meats, the passengers on the Mayflower were delighted to find mussels when they first made landing on Cape Cod. They were abundant and easily gathered. This recipe is adapted from Thomas Dawson, _The Second Part of the Good Huswives_ Jewell, 1597.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds of mussels
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Place mussels in cold water and scrub them clean. "Beard" them by taking off the tuft of fibers projecting from the shell (if there are any-many farm-raised mussels are "beardless"). Discard any mussels that are broken or do not close when touched.
  • Place 1 cup of water and all ingredients except the mussels into a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the mussels and reduce the heat so that the mussels cook at a simmer. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, for 10 minutes or until all of the mussels have opened fully. Keep an eye on the mussels-if cooked too long, they can be chewy.
  • To serve, pour the mussels and broth into bowls, setting another empty bowl on the table for discarded shells.

MUSSELS, WHITE WINE & PARSLEY



Mussels, white wine & parsley image

British mussels are cheap, sustainable and surprisingly simple to cook. Follow Mary Cadogan's step-by-step guide to preparing mussels

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg mussels, in shells
small glass white wine
1 shallot, finely chopped
chopped parsley, to serve

Steps:

  • Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
  • Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
  • If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
  • Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
  • Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
  • Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

Steamed Mussels With Garlic and Parsley image

This is absolutely the simplest way to cook mussels, and perhaps the most satisfying. A big pot of them makes an easy, festive dinner any night of the week.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toasts
2 garlic cloves, minced, plus 1 or 2 whole garlic cloves for rubbing toasts
Pinch of crushed red pepper
4 pounds mussels, cleaned
1/4 cup white wine or water
1 baguette, split lengthwise, then cut crosswise in half
1 cup roughly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Put olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and let sizzle for 30 seconds without browning. Add the mussels, stir to coat and increase heat to high. Add the wine or water, and put on lid. After 2 minutes, give the mussels a stir, then replace lid and continue cooking until all mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Paint cut sides of the baguette pieces with oil and place cut side up under broiler to toast. Rub toasts with the remaining garlic cloves.
  • Stir the chopped parsley into the mussels, then ladle mussels and broth into bowls. Serve with the garlic toasts.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells. Avoid any mussels with broken or cracked shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Before cooking, remove any barnacles or seaweed from the shells. Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels and rinse them well under cold water.
  • Use a large pot: Mussels will release a lot of liquid as they cook, so be sure to use a large pot that can accommodate them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the mussels will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the mussels until they open: Mussels should be cooked until they open. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Discard any unopened mussels: After cooking, discard any mussels that have not opened.
  • Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Mussels are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The parsley vinaigrette in this recipe is a light and refreshing sauce that complements the briny flavor of the mussels perfectly. This dish is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner, and it is sure to impress your guests.
