What on earth do I do with these two jars of mussel salad?
A well-meaning co-worker gave me a jar of mussel salad, which broke on the way home, so I was off the hook, hating to throw away food, like I do, but not craving to eat mussel salad. Stupid me, I lied the next day and told co-worker that I loved it. So he gave me two more jars.
I still have that hating to throw away food thing. These two jars of mussels in vinaigrette are sitting in the cupboards of my cubicle. *sigh*
I'm thinking I might make a marinara sauce, throw in some anchovies, and then when the sauce is just about done, add some chopped parsley and the mussels. Or maybe a variation on tapenade, with the mussels rounding out (okay, I'm not sure if these mussels can really do any rounding out) the tuna. But if anyone else has any other bright ideas, tell me. PLEASE.
Food guilt, oy.
Mussels for beginners?
I want to try making mussels - but I don't want to give myself food poisoning. What do I need to do to make sure I weed out the bad ones?
Also, how many mussels should I buy to make a main for two people?
How do you describe taste of mussels?
to someone who hasn't tried it before? It was a question someone asked me on my blog after I posted a recipe for Steamed Mussels in Lemongrass Coconut Curry.
Would love your opinions!
Mussels and Mussels, alive alive o!
When I buy mussels, I always throw away the ones which are gaping open, but what about the ones where you can slide the shells against each other but they're not really open? This accounts for at least 1/3 of the mussels in some bags. Do I need to throw them away?
