SHOW ME YOUR MUSSELS

MUSSEL UP IN THE NEW YEAR

Woe to the cook whose sauce has no sting." Geoffrey Chaucer





FISHMONGERS MUSSELS WITH RISONI

Ingredients
1 kg Mussels (cleaned)
Fish stock
White wine
Butter
Sherry
Parsley
1 red Chilli
Garlic
2 cups of Risoni (pasta section of supermarket - rice look-a-like)

Step 1. In a pan (that has a lid) fry off some garlic and finely chopped chilli in oil. Add approx 3 cups of stock, 1/2 cup white wine, a knob of butter and a decent splash of sherry and bring to boil
Step 2. Add 2 cups of Risoni to pan and simmer for approx 5 mins until Risoni is cooked and texture is soupy. Add more stock if you need.
Step 3. Add mussels to pan,  cover and allow them to open (discarding the unopened ones) & transfer to bowl
Step.4. Pour soupy ingredients over mussels and finish with parsley and chilli.

Hint: # Ditch the Risoni for carb free meal
         # Serve with hot chips to mop up sauce.

Enjoy
