Description:
Mussels are rich in protein. For the below recipes green shelled Mussels are preferable but I used black shelled mussels.
Ingredients:
1. Black shelled mussels - 10 to 15
2. Onion - 1(white onion preferable if you can find them in stores)
3. Red bell pepper - 1
4. Fresh coriander leaves - handful
5. Parsley( I used dried parsley because could`t find fresh in my place)
6. Pepper powder
7. Olive oil
8. Salt a pinch
9. Garlic - 3 pods
Procedure:
How to clean the mussels:
Brush the mussels and take out the threads on the shell. Wash 3-4 times under running water.
How to cook mussels:
Take a deep vessels and fill with water. Add some crushed garlic and parsley into it . Once the water starts to boil drop in the cleaned mussels. Close the lid tight and let it cook for 5-6 minutes. After that transfer it to a sieve and hold under running water. Note- Use the mussels that are opened after boiling, incase if you see any mussels haven`t open then throw it away, don`t use them. Separate the top shell of the mussels.
How to grill:
First lets make the filling. Chop the onion,garlic and capsicum into very tiny pieces. Put it in a bowl and add chopped coriander leaves, parsley and pepper powder. Throw in a pinch of salt and little olive oil. Mix well and keep it for 2 minutes. Next take the grilling pan and arrange the mussels on it. Take a spoon of filling and place it over each mussels. put few drops of olive oil on each mussels. Keep it in the oven on grill mode(300deg) for 10-12 minutes. Thats it grilled mussels are ready. Try and see.
