Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced prosciutto, about half of a thick slice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 pound mussels, cleaned
1/2 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and the prosciutto and cook, stirring often, until the prosciutto is crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Remove the skillet from the heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and toss in the oil to coat. Stir in the parsley and 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
  • Meanwhile, for the mussels: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the mussels and white wine. Cover and give the pot a shake. Cook, shaking occasionally, until the mussels have just opened, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels.
  • Position a rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Discard the top shells of the mussels and loosen the mussel meat from the bottom shell. Leave the meat in the shell and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Using a small spoon, pack the filling in each of the mussel shells. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Broil until the filling is golden and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

I'm allergic to shellfish, but I can still enjoy this dish by using shrimp instead of mussels.
