Easiest Mussels Ever!

www.grouprecipes.com

I love this recipe!  When people ask us how to make mussels or clams this is pretty much how we tell them to do it.  I like that there are no measurements so that you can adjust it to your liking.  This is great with crusty bread and a salad for a meal.  If mussels aren’t your thing substitute cockle or littleneck clams.

  • Mussels
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Hot Sauce
  • White Wine
  • Parsley for garnish
    1. Clean the mussels.
    2. Bring the white to a boil, throw in mussels, cover and steam them until they open, about 5-7 minutes.
    3. Split the shells in half, discarding any that didn’t open.
    4. Melt butter, added finely chopped garlic and a little dash of hot sauce and pour this mixture over the half shells of mussels.  Garnish with fresh parsley.
    5. You can make this recipe with any amount of mussels and any amount of sauce, if you like garlic, add more, if you like hot sauce, add more, it’s versatile.

    Clams Posillipo

    www.cookeatshare.com

    Recipe adapted from Patsy’s Cookbook – Classic Italian Recipes

    32 Littleneck Clams
    3 Tbsp Olive Oil
    6 Garlic Cloves, halved
    1 Small Yellow Onion, chopped (about ¼ cup)
    1 28 oz Can Whole Plum Tomatoes, with juice
    Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
    1 Tbsp Tomato Paste (optional)
    ¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Basil
    1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley, plus more for garnish

    Scrub the clam shells, rinse thoroughly in cold water, and place in a large pot. Add cold water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the shells open, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to a large bowl. Discard any clams that have not opened.

    Strain the cooking liquid through a chinois or a strainer lined with a coffee filter or cheese cloth, and reserve ¾ cup of this liquid as clam broth. Return the clams to the pot, add cold water, and stir to remove any remaining sand. Drain and reserve.

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium flame and sauté the garlic halves until golden, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon or tongs, remove and discard the garlic. Add the onions to the saucepan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft and translucent. Coarsely chopped the tomatoes and add with their juice to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste (if using) and add the basil and parsley. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.

    Add the reserved clam broth and clams to the sauce and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the clams are heated through. Spoon the clams and sauce into a large serving bowl, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

    Cod with Olives & Potatoes in Parchment

    www.epicurious.com

    Recipe from Gourmet

    If you don’t have parchment paper aluminum foil gets the job done just as well.

    • 1/2 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes
    • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano, divided
    • 2 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
    • 8 (5-ounce) pieces skinless cod or haddock
    • 1 lemon, very thinly sliced
    • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup Kalamata-style black olives, pitted and cut into slivers
    • 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves

    Preheat oven to 400°F with a baking sheet on bottom rack.

    Cut potatoes into very thin slices. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Divide potatoes among parchment squares, arranging them in center, slightly overlapping, then top with a piece of fish. Sprinkle each fillet with a scant 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, then top each with a lemon slice, a few garlic slices and olive slivers, parsley leaves, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 tablespoon oil.

    Gather sides of parchment up over fish to form a pouch, leaving no openings, and tie tightly with kitchen string. Put packages on hot baking sheet and bake until fish is just cooked through, 15 to 22 minutes.
