Categories     Mussels

Time 35m

Yield 30 tapas

Number Of Ingredients 10

30 mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons green onions, minced
2 tablespoons green peppers, minced
2 tablespoons red peppers, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 dash red pepper sauce
salt

Steps:

  • Steam open the mussels. Put them in a deep pan with the water. Cover the pan and put over a high heat, shaking the pan, until the shells open.
  • Remove from heat and discard any mussels that do not open. Mussels can also be opened in a microwave. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl, partially covered, and microwave at full power for one minute.
  • Stir and microwave one minute more. Remove any mussels that have opened and microwave one minute more.
  • Again remove open ones. Repeat twice more. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the empty shells. (Mussels can be cooked in advance and refrigerated.) Shortly before serving, arrange mussels on a bed of shredded lettuce on a serving platter.
  • In a bowl combine the onion, green and red pepper, parsley, oil, and vinegar. Season with red pepper sauce and salt. Spoon the mixture into the mussels in their shells.
