MUSSELS IN ROMESCO SAUCE



Mussels in Romesco Sauce image

Romesco sauce, a piquant mixture of chilies, nuts, and tomatoes, is a typical seasoning for seafood in the Catalan province of Tarragona. Although fresh coriander is not an ingredient found in the traditional Spanish pantry, its flavor lends a nice touch to this dish.

Yield Serves 8 to 10 as part of a tapas buffet

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried mild red chilies such as New Mexico*, seeded and torn into large pieces (wear rubber gloves)
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup whole blanched almonds
2/3 cup olive oil
2 slices firm white sandwich bread
1 medium onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped coarse
4 plum tomatoes (about 1/2 pound), peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
2 pounds mussels (preferably cultivated), scrubbed well and beards pulled off
2 tablespoons finely chopped, washed-well, and spun-dry fresh coriander sprigs
*available at Hispanic markets and some specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • In a small bowl soak chilies, flesh sides down, in vinegar 30 minutes. Remove chilies, reserving vinegar in bowl, and scrape flesh from skins of chilies, discarding skins. Return chili flesh to reserved vinegar.
  • In a heavy skillet cook almonds in 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Heat oil remaining in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and fry bread, turning it, until golden. Transfer bread to a cutting board and cut into cubes.
  • In a skillet heat remaining oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onion, stirring, until edges are just golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is pale golden. Add chili mixture, almonds, bread cubes, tomatoes, and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. In a food processor purée mixture coarse and season with salt. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
  • In a heavy kettle stir together wine, water, and 1 cup sauce, reserving remaining sauce for another use, and bring to a boil. Add mussels and boil gently, covered, 4 minutes, or until most are opened.
  • Transfer mussels to a serving dish, discarding any unopened ones. Simmer sauce, stirring, until reduced and thickened slightly and spoon over mussels. Sprinkle mussels with coriander.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Mussels: Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the Mussels: Before cooking, clean the mussels by scrubbing them with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a Large Pot: Mussels tend to expand during cooking, so it's important to use a large pot to accommodate them.
  • Don't Overcook the Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and chewy.
  • Add Vegetables: Vegetables such as shallots, garlic, and celery add flavor to the mussel dish. You can also add other vegetables such as carrots or zucchini.
  • Use White Wine: White wine adds a subtle acidity to the mussel dish. You can use any type of white wine, but a dry white wine is best.
  • Add Herbs: Herbs such as thyme, parsley, and bay leaves add flavor to the mussel dish. You can also add other herbs such as rosemary or oregano.
  • Use Heavy Cream: Heavy cream adds a rich and creamy texture to the mussel dish. You can use milk or half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • Serve Immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with crusty bread, pasta, or rice.
