EASY "6" INGREDIENT STEAMED MUSSELS IN BEER



Easy

Now this also works with clams as well, but my favorite is mussels. This is so easy and quick to make. It is a wonderful starter dish or even a main course. Just make sure to have some crusty bread to go with it. My favorite is slice your baguette in half and drizzle with olive oil and toast. Rub it with fresh garlic and a slice of tomato for a wonderful fresh flavor. Just a Note: I didn't count the olive oil to saute the vegetables in or the salt and pepper in the six ingredients. It is still very very easy and absolutely delicious. These amounts work good for 1-1 1/2 lbs. Just double each of the ingredients if you are using more mussels.

Categories     Mussels

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 Servings as an appetizer, 2-3 as a main couse, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -1 1/2 lb mussels
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (I prefer an amber or lager, but any beer will work)
1 medium onion, cut in half and thin sliced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced fine
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon olive oil to saute the onion and garlic
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Base -- In a medium wide saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute a couple of minutes.
  • If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, this is completely optional.
  • Mussels -- One NOTE: Very important. Rinse the mussels well in cold water in a collander. Make sure that any opened mussels you tap a couple of times and if they do not close, they are BAD (dead) and make sure to toss those out.
  • Add the beer and mussels to the pan and reduce the heat to medium and cover. Simmer approximately 5-7 minutes until the mussels begin to open. Turn the heat off and add the butter and parsley and stir well. Don't over cook the mussels. You just want to make sure they all open well.
  • Serve -- As I mentioned - crusty bread. I like to drizzle with olive oil and toast, then rub with a garlic clove and a tomato. Just cut a tomato in half and rub over the bread. It has amazing flavor. The broth and onions in the broth are a great topping to the bread with. ENJOY! This very simple easy dish.

RED STRIPE-STEAMED MUSSELS



Red Stripe-Steamed Mussels image

Before Adam Schop became the chef of the two Miss Lily's restaurants in Manhattan, he had little experience with the Caribbean culinary traditions he's since grown fascinated by. The intense floral notes of the chiles of the region were a particular inspiration, and are used with Jamaican Red Stripe and other Caribbean flavors like allspice to boost what is at heart a simple beer-steamed mussel dish.

Categories     main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 Scotch bonnet pepper (or use habanero)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 pinch ground allspice
1 cup red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and julienned (about 1 small pepper)
1 cup green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and julienned (about 1 small pepper)
1 cup chayote, julienned (or use English cucumbers with the seeds removed)
1 cup Spanish onion, julienned (about 1/2 medium onion)
1 cup carrots, julienned (about 2 large carrots)
2 cups rice wine vinegar
4 fresh or dried bay leaves
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
1 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoons grapeseed oil
3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic (about 3 cloves)
2 bunches scallions (about 18 scallions), chopped (about 4 cups)
3 pounds mussels
3/4 cup Red Stripe beer (6 ounces)
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the Scotch bonnet butter: Wearing protective gloves, mince 1/4 of the pepper to yield 1 teaspoon. Thinly slice the remaining pepper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine minced pepper, butter, garlic, thyme and ground allspice. Use a rubber spatula or fork to mix together until well incorporated.
  • Make the escovitch: In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, chayote, onion, carrots, reserved sliced Scotch bonnet pepper, rice wine vinegar, bay leaves, salt, allspice berries, sugar and 1½ cups water, and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for as long as possible, at least 2 days. The mix will hold for 2 months and the flavors will become more concentrated the longer it sits.
  • Make the steamed mussels: Put a large heavy pot (at least 8 quarts) over high heat and add oil, garlic and scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are fragrant and soften slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add mussels and shake pan to mix with the vegetables, then add beer and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until mussels open, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, add Scotch bonnet butter and stir well to melt the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Discard any unopened mussels. Serve straight out of the pot, with the escovitch spread over the mussels in a thin layer and cilantro sprinkled on top.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH SPICY RED PEPPER AIOLI



Steamed Mussels with Spicy Red Pepper Aioli image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 red pepper
*2 egg yolks
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons Vietnamese chili paste (recommended: Sambal Oelek)
Salt
1 1/2 cups canola oil
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
3 pounds mussels, debearded and rinsed
1 bottle dry white wine
4 slices baguette, cut on the bias

Steps:

  • To make the aioli: Place the red pepper on an open flame or grill. Turn to blacken on all sides. When fully charred, remove to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let pepper cool, until you can handle it comfortably. Using your fingers, remove blackened skin to reveal the red color underneath. (A paper towel will wipe off what you can't remove with your fingers.) Coarsely chop the pepper and place it in the bowl of a food processor. Add the yolks, garlic, vinegar, chili paste, and salt to taste. Puree until the mixture is homogeneous. While the machine is running VERY slowly drizzle in the oil, until incorporated. Check the aioli for texture and flavor. If it's too thick, add a few drops of water to thin it down, or on the flip side if it's too thin add more oil. The desired outcome is a fairly thin aioli. Check the flavor and add more salt or chili paste, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To cook the mussels: In a pot, large enough to accommodate all the mussels, generously coat with olive oil. Add the onions and bring to a medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook the onions until they are very soft and aromatic but have no color. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaf and cook for another 2 to3 minutes. Stir to be sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add the mussels and stir to coat with the oil. Add the wine and cover the pot. Steam the mussels for 5 to 6 minutes or until all the shells open. If some shells don't open, cook them for a little longer. Sometimes the freshest mussels are the most stubborn to open. Remove the mussels that don't open after longer cooking. When in doubt, throw out.
  • While the mussels are steaming, grill or toast the slices of bread.
  • Serve the mussels in individual bowls with lots of the juice from the bottom of the pot. Generously drizzle each bowl with the aioli. Garnish with toast. (You may want to have more toasted bread on hand to sop up the delicious liquid!)
  • *RAW EGG WARNING
  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

STEAMED MUSSELS WITH PASILLA PEPPER CREAM, SHALLOTS AND TARRAGON



Steamed Mussels with Pasilla Pepper Cream, Shallots and Tarragon image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 dried pasilla pepper, seeded and stemed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon Spanish paprika
1/2 cup shallots, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups clam juice
2 pounds mussels, debearded and washed
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the pasilla pepper on a pie tin and toast in preheated 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the cream to one short boil. Lightly crumble the pasilla pepper and add to warm cream along with paprika. Stir to combine, set aside to steep for about 20 minutes. Place the infused cream mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer, discard the pepper pulp and reserve the pepper cream. In a large acid resistant pot with a tight fitting lid, combine the shallots, garlic, wine and clam juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce by half, about 10 minutes. Add the mussels. Cover the pot and cook over high heat until the mussels open, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the pasilla cream, tarragon and chives. Serve in 4 individual bowls.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells. Discard any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a brush to remove any barnacles or other attached matter.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for a mix of bell peppers and chili peppers. You can adjust the amount of each type of pepper to suit your taste. For a milder dish, use more bell peppers and fewer chili peppers. For a spicier dish, use more chili peppers and fewer bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as bread, pasta, or rice.

Conclusion:

Steamed mussels with peppers is a quick and easy seafood dish that is packed with flavor. The mussels are tender and juicy, and the peppers add a delicious sweetness and spice. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as an appetizer. When making this dish, be sure to use fresh mussels and clean them thoroughly. You can adjust the amount of peppers to suit your taste, and be careful not to overcook the mussels. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
