Mussels In Parsley Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub mussels well and remove the beards.
• Discard any that do not close tightly, set aside.
• Whisk the oil and vinegar together in a bowl, then add capers, onion, pimiento, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place one cup water in a frypan with the lemon slice.
• Add the mussels and bring to a boil.
• Remove the mussels as they open;cool.
• Remove the mussel meat from the shells, reserving half the shells, and mix it into the vinaigrette.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Clean the reserved mussel shells well and place them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
• Before serving, replace the mussels in the shells and spoon a small amount of the vinaigrette over.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine; bring to a boil. Add the mussels; cover and cook, stirring once, until the mussels open, about 3 minutes. Discard unopened shells.
• Remove the mussels with a slotted spoon; discard the cooking liquid. Chill the mussels in a bowl in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
• Whisk together the mustard, chopped shallots, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in the parsley. The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
• Toss the chilled mussels with 1/2 cup vinaigrette. If desired, serve on the half-shell on a bed of lettuce. Garnish with parsley. Drizzle with more vinaigrette, if desired.

Steps:

• Rinse the mussels under cold water. Soak in ice cold water for approximately 30 minutes to purge before cooking. Discard any with broken shells or those which do not close on their own.
• Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the oil and pancetta to the pan and cook until the pancetta starts to brown. Add in the onions and cook until translucent. Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 to 60 seconds before adding in the tomatoes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine and bring everything to a boil. Add the mussels and cook until they begin to open. Add in the parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and mix well.
• Place the mussels in a shallow bowl with a spoon. Discard any mussels that do not open. Pour the remaining sauce over the mussels. Serve with toasted baguette and/or frites for a true Belgian experience.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Add mussels; cover and cook, stirring once, until mussels open, about 3 minutes. (Discard unopened shells.)
• Remove mussels with a slotted spoon; discard cooking liquid. Chill mussels in a bowl in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
• Whisk together mustard, chopped shallots, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in parsley. Vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
• Toss chilled mussels with 1/2 cup vinaigrette. If desired, serve on the half shell on a bed of lettuce. Garnish with parsley. Drizzle with more vinaigrette, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add one shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mussels and wine. Cover, and cook until all the mussels are open, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels from the broth, and let cool. Discard any unopened shells. The mussels can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
• In a large bowl, whisk vinegar, remaining 2 shallots, and mustard to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add parsley, and whisk to combine. Add mussels; toss with two large spoons to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Tip the mussels into the sink or a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around with your hands to wash them thoroughly. Use a small sharp knife to scrape off any barnacles attached to the shells. Discard any mussels with broken shells.
• Pull off the beards using the knife to help you - they just need a good tug. The beard is the brown wispy bit hanging out of the join in the shells. Not all mussels will have beards.
• If any mussels are open, tap them sharply against the side of the sink, worktop or with a knife. If they don't close, discard them - they are dead and not edible.
• Rinse the mussels again in fresh cold water to remove any bits of shell or barnacle, and drain in a colander. Tip the mussels into a large pan, then add the wine and chopped shallot. The pan should not be more than half full - the mussels need plenty of space to move around so that they cook thoroughly.
• Set the pan over a high heat and cover tightly with a lid. When the pan starts to steam, cook the mussels for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure they cook evenly. They are cooked when the shells have opened. Mussels that have not opened are fine to eat if they can be easily opened.
• Remove the pan from the heat to stop the mussels cooking any further. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, then spoon them into warmed bowls and pour over the pan juices.

Steps:

• Steam open the mussels. Put them in a deep pan with the water. Cover the pan and put over a high heat, shaking the pan, until the shells open.
• Remove from heat and discard any mussels that do not open. Mussels can also be opened in a microwave. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl, partially covered, and microwave at full power for one minute.
• Stir and microwave one minute more. Remove any mussels that have opened and microwave one minute more.
• Again remove open ones. Repeat twice more. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
• When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the empty shells. (Mussels can be cooked in advance and refrigerated.) Shortly before serving, arrange mussels on a bed of shredded lettuce on a serving platter.
• In a bowl combine the onion, green and red pepper, parsley, oil, and vinegar. Season with red pepper sauce and salt. Spoon the mixture into the mussels in their shells.

Steps:

• Bring one inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Add mussels, cover, and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are all open. Drain. Remove one side of each shell, and arrange the open shelled mussels on a serving platter. Discard any mussels that do not open.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the red, yellow, and green bell peppers, olive oil, wine vinegar, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Spoon over the mussels on the shells. Refrigerate until serving.
