Stuffed Mussels With White Wine Recipe

Stuffed Mussels with White wine

From uk2nyc 16 years ago

Tasty recipe to go with a nice dry white wine. I love mussels and was tired or just making them in a wine sauce. Something different.

1 1/2 lb of mussels ( I used Italian mussels from the Ligurian sea) shopping list
2 large ripe vine tomatoes shopping list
1/2 cup of bread crumbs shopping list
1/2 cup of dry white wine shopping list
1 spring rosemary shopping list
1 tsp of chopped parsley shopping list
2 large cloves garlic, chopped finely shopping list
1/2 tsp of good quality saffron shopping list
1/2 tsp of paprika dolce ( sweet Italian paprika) shopping list
1 egg shopping list
1 tbs butter shopping list
salt to taste shopping list

Scrub your mussels clean and remove the beards
Place a pan on Medium heat and add your butter, Tomatoes, Parsley, Rosemary, garlic, Saffron, Paprika and salt
When tomatoes are a little soft add your white wine and turn flame on high.
Add your mussels and cover.
After about 8 mins check to see if your mussles are all opened
Using a slotted spoon remove the mussels and discard the ones that are closed
Reduce the liquid until its about 1/2 cup ( use your judgment)
Remove the meat from the mussels and save the large shells
Chop the meat and in a mixing bowl combine with Egg and bread crumbs and your cooled cooking liquid.
Stuff one shell at a time and place on a baking tray.
Put under the broiler until nice and golden brown
Remove and serve with lemon and a nice chilled white wine.
* I used a Viognier from Sicily

This looks great, my family love mussels and that's unusual living in the heartland land locked Minnesota, but we do have a great fish market where we pay dearly for fresh seafood. I will be giving this a try soon. I will need to use sweet Hungarian Paprika because I don't know where to get Italian paprika. Thanks for sharing
