I love them in restaurants but after buying realised i had no clue how to cook them.
|
|
By:
if they are open before cooking, chuck them, if they dont open after cooking chuck them
|
|
By:
rd is right. if they dont open chuck them. remember to take the stringy bits off too. nice with garlic and spring onion with a bit white wine. serve with crusty bread.

disgusting, the beardy bit is prolly bits of shiit flushed from the toilets all over the world
|
|
By:
excellent have some white wine, shallots and think i have some garlic also.
Chit chat to the rescue... and if i get ill from it i'll blame you all :) cheers |
|
By:
beardy bit is because they are rope grown ( ie commercially farmed ) in scottish lochs. naturally find them at bottom of seasweed routes etc.
|
|
By:
fry onion and garlic (or shallots) ..until soft..add half bottle of white wine..tip in cleaned closed mussels...mix....cook for 4-5 mins.. add fresh chopped parsley...serve with bagette.
Can add cream at last stage. Chuck out any that don't open :) |
|
By:
am just not into fish food, far too salty, never my thing
|
|
By:
after cooking for 4-5mins should they be open?
|
|
By:
YES .. any that are still shut throw away. :)
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
By:

|
|

|
|
By:

|
By:
oh that Bridgend pub is shut? but now an Indian?
I have many fond memories of dancing etc in the Bridgend pub on a Friday! |
|
By:
stil not open though , same bloke who has got one at corbridge station .
|
|
By:

|
|
By:
been an indian for some years now hasnt it?
|
|
By:
Pubs around my old area were taken over by Indians,some were listed buildings,but three at least have been destroyed by fire.New flats have taken their place.
|
|
By:
mere co-incidence
|
|
By:
Bit late now but wash each, de-beard and give them a squeeze. Any that don't close fully after a few minutes will be dead. Steam them, microwave them or stick them in a dish.
Loads of ways to cook them, or simply eat with vinegar. Everyone advises not to overcook them but I like them chewy. |
|
By:
whats the point of pouring white wine and garlic over something in a firkin shell?.....you aint going to eat the shell are you?
|
|
By:
They open AJW :)
|
|
By:
The juices from the mussels infuse with the wine and herbs, delicious.
BTW Mussels are my 2nd fav food behind**les, I eat them at least once a week. Iceland are doing frozen shelled mussels for £1 for 500g (bigger than a pickled jar) |
|
By:
cooking nicely now.. took a while to clean. So hows cooking frozen ones differ? cheeky glass of wine on the go also :)
|
|
By:
Frozen ones don't come in a shell :)
Personally I can't taste a difference although live mussels are a lot more expensive. |
