Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 mussels, about 1 pound
1/2 cup water
Mexican vinaigrette sauce (see recipe)
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander

Steps:

  • Pull off and discard the stringy beard from the mussels. Scrub the mussels as necessary and drain them well.
  • Put the mussels in a kettle and add the water. Cover closely and bring to the boil. Cook four or five minutes or until all the mussels are open. Drain. Discard the cooking liquid or put it to another use.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in the vinaigrette. It was still delicious.

The mussels were a little sandy, but the vinaigrette was so good that I didn't mind.

I thought the vinaigrette was a little too vinegary. I would recommend using less vinegar next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The mussels are briny and the vinaigrette is bright and acidic. It's a perfect balance.
