Live Mussels are not always readily available. When they are you have to clean them. I do find that to buy readily prepared FROZEN is a better and safer option.
This dish, added to Linguine Pasta makes a very filling main course.
SERVES 2-3 persons
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. Frozen Whole Mussels
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
3/4 cup white wine
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 lb. cooked linguine pasta
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
METHOD
Saute garlic and shallots in olive oil over a medium heat until transparent.
Add the mussels,red pepper flakes, oregano, black pepper, white wine and parsley.
Cover with a lid and let steam for 4-6 minutes or until all the shells open. Discard any unopened shells.
Pour the mussels and sauce over cooked pasta. Garnish with parmesan cheese.
