MUSSELS IN LEMON CREAM



Mussels in Lemon Cream image

This came out of a Gourmet Magazine about 8 years ago. I have tweeked the amounts used in the original recipe to suit my taste and to allow 2 meal portions. The saying is for a meal portion to allow 2lbs of mussels per person. Or you may use this recipe as a nice appetizer for 4-5 persons. It has a yummy combination of taste and I would recommend a nice crusty bread served with it to mop up the lovely lemon cream.

Romesco sauce, a piquant mixture of chilies, nuts, and tomatoes, is a typical seasoning for seafood in the Catalan province of Tarragona. Although fresh coriander is not an ingredient found in the traditional Spanish pantry, its flavor lends a nice touch to this dish.

Yield Serves 8 to 10 as part of a tapas buffet

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried mild red chilies such as New Mexico*, seeded and torn into large pieces (wear rubber gloves)
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar

1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
2 pounds mussels (preferably cultivated), scrubbed well and beards pulled off
2 tablespoons finely chopped, washed-well, and spun-dry fresh coriander sprigs
*available at Hispanic markets and some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • In a small bowl soak chilies, flesh sides down, in vinegar 30 minutes. Remove chilies, reserving vinegar in bowl, and scrape flesh from skins of chilies, discarding skins. Return chili flesh to reserved vinegar.
  • In a heavy skillet cook almonds in 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Heat oil remaining in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and fry bread, turning it, until golden. Transfer bread to a cutting board and cut into cubes.
  • In a skillet heat remaining oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onion, stirring, until edges are just golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is pale golden. Add chili mixture, almonds, bread cubes, tomatoes, and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. In a food processor purée mixture coarse and season with salt.

  • Transfer mussels to a serving dish, discarding any unopened ones. Simmer sauce, stirring, until reduced and thickened slightly and spoon over mussels. Sprinkle mussels with coriander.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Ensure mussels are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Discard any open or damaged mussels.
  • Properly clean mussels: Scrub mussels under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a scrubbing brush or your fingers to remove barnacles or other attached matter.
  • Debeard mussels: Remove the fibrous beard from each mussel by pulling it gently. If the beard is too long, use a pair of kitchen shears to trim it.
  • Cook mussels until they open: Mussels are cooked when their shells open. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Mussels can be steamed, boiled, baked, grilled, or fried. Choose a cooking method that best suits your recipe and preferences.
  • Pair mussels with complementary flavors: Mussels pair well with a variety of flavors, including garlic, shallots, white wine, lemon, cream, butter, herbs, and spices. Experiment with different flavor combinations to create delicious mussel dishes.
