This weekend we cooked mussels in the motorhome. Mussels can be really tasty, especially when gratinated in the oven, so we wanted to share the recipe. Luxurious and delicious as an appetiser or snack with a glass of champagne or white wine. Even people who think they don't like mussels tend to like them!

ShareWhat is needed
- Fresh mussels (one net)
- Butter (at least 100 g)
- Dark bread (1-2 slices)
- Fresh parsley (half a pot)
- Garlic (two cloves)
- White wine (a splash)
- A lemon
Do the following
Melt the butter in a pan and mix with the crumbled bread, chopped parsley and finely chopped garlic. Place the mixture in the fridge. Brush the mussels clean, and discard any that don't close when you tap the shell. Cook them for five minutes in water and a splash of white wine. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
Loosen all the mussels and place them on one half of the shell on a baking tray. Place a small dollop of the mixture on each mussel and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges. (Our version of a recipe in the The big fish and shellfish book)

Smartly worse 🙂
It looked like you had a lovely mini holiday. A bit of a bon vivant like us, I think.
Take care and hugs

Thanks for the recipe! We also like to gratinate scallops without garlic, in giant shells we found in Italy, they can withstand the heat of the oven ;-}
