Chilli Mussels
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
Serves 4
- 50g butter
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 bunch spring onion, whites chopped, green tops thinly sliced to garnish
- 1 kg live pot-ready mussels
- 400g can chopped plum tomatoes
- 375 ml can of beer of your choice (two big gulps worth)
- 3 long red chillies, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander, to garnish
Method:
- Heat a heavy-based saucepan over medium high heat. Add the butter, and when it begins to foam add the garlic and chopped spring onion and cook over a high heat, stirring to prevent burning for about 2 minutes
- Add the mussels and stir well.
- Add the tomatoes, a good slug of beer and the chillies. Stir, then cover, and keep the heat high, give the saucepan a shake to move and open the mussels as they cook.
- When the majority of mussels have opened, spoon them out into a large bowl to serve.
- Bring the sauce to the boil and season with pepper and perhaps a little salt. Pour the sauce over the mussels and garnish with the spring onion tops and coriander.
