These Greenshell mussels are already prepared on the half shell and frozen for convenience, making them easy to incorporate into various dishes. Here’s how to best use them:
Preparation:
Thawing: For the best texture and flavour, allow the mussels to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. If you’re short on time, you can also rinse them under cold water to speed up the thawing process.
Cooking Methods:
Steaming:
Place the thawed mussels in a steamer over boiling water.
Cover the lid and steam for 5-7 minutes until the mussels are heated through.
Serve with melted garlic butter or a squeeze of lemon for added flavour.
Grilling:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the thawed mussels on a grill-safe tray.
Add your favorite toppings (e.g., garlic butter, herbs, cheese).
Grill for 3-4 minutes until the toppings are melted and the mussels are heated through.
Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Arrange the mussels on a baking tray, add seasonings or sauces (such as a garlic and herb butter, cheese, or breadcrumbs).
Bake for 5-7 minutes until the mussels are cooked through and the toppings are golden.
Serve with lemon wedges or on a bed of greens.
Adding to Soups or Pasta:
Thaw the mussels and add them to your soup or pasta sauce during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking.
Let the mussels heat through before serving with the dish.
Serving Suggestions:
Appetizer: Serve with dipping sauces like garlic butter, lemon herb sauce, or a spicy mayo.
Main Course: Add them to seafood pasta, risotto, or seafood stews for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Salad: Chill the steamed mussels and use them as a topping for salads, pairing well with fresh greens and a tangy vinaigrette.
Storage Instructions:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Once thawed, do not refreeze.
Consume immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture.
