Categories     Mussels

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 lbs mussels (about 40)
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 cup Greek yogurt
kosher salt
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, cut into thin strips (julienne, about 10 leaves)

Steps:

  • Clean and debeard the mussels and rinse in a colander under cold running water, discarding any whose shells are cracked or do not close tightly when tapped.
  • In a large saucepan, over medium heat, combine the mussels with the wine, stirring to combine. Cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes until shells have opened. Transfer opened shells to a bowl to cool. Re-cover and cook for a few minutes as needed until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open.
  • Once cooled, remove shells from mussels and reserve half for serving. Place mussels in a bowl and then strain the cooking liquid into the same bowl, discarding solids. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
  • Mince the capers finely and place in a small bowl. Add yogurt and season with salt. Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid (which has been added to the mussels in the refrigerator). Mix well with a whisk to slightly whip the yogurt.
  • To serve, in reserved half shell, dollop a small amount of caper yogurt, place a mussel on top, and garnish with mint.

Great recipe! The mussels turned out perfectly tender and flavorful. I made a few minor adjustments to the recipe, such as using white wine instead of ouzo and adding a bit of garlic. Overall, this was a delicious and easy-to-make dish.

These mussels were so plump and juicy! The sauce was light and flavorful, and the capers and mint added a nice touch. I'm not usually a big fan of mussels, but this dish changed my mind.
