Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large new potatoes
Pan spray
3 dozen small mussels, or 2 dozen large
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 small red onion to make 2 tablespoons minced
6 or 7 sprigs marjoram to make about 2 teaspoons finely chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 very large tomato to make about 1 cup chopped
2 slices crusty country bread
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes, but do not peel them. Slice thin and spray on one side with pan spray.
  • Prepare stove-top grill. Arrange potatoes on grill before heating it, and spray second side of potatoes. Grill the potatoes over medium-high heat until they begin to brown on one side; turn and brown on second side, cooking until they are soft.
  • Wash mussels thoroughly and remove beards. Discard any with open shells. Place in pot with the wine; cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until shells open, 3 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the mussels.
  • Mince onion; wash, dry and chop marjoram; then, combine in serving bowl with oil and vinegar.
  • When mussels are done, remove from pan and remove mussels from shells; add to serving bowl with 1 tablespoon of mussel broth.
  • Wash, trim and chop tomato into small cubes; then, stir into bowl.
  • When potatoes are cooked, add to bowl and mix well. Season with salt. Serve with bread.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll look for a simpler recipe next time.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the potato salad was delicious.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This warm mussel and potato salad is a delightful dish that combines the briny flavor of mussels with the creamy texture of potatoes. The addition of lemon and herbs adds a refreshing brightness that balances the richness of the mussels and potatoes.
