On this week’s episode of Eat Weird, we delve into some seafood that may not be so weird to some, but possibly foreign to others - mussels. Colin Devroe is this week’s chef, preparing a delicious seafood, pasta dinner. We explore the difference in taste between the relatively close mussel and clam, and request your input about what your favorite seafood is.
This simple yet delicious meal is a surefire dish to please anyone’s seafood appetite.
Recipe:
- 10-20 mussels
- 3/4 c. olive oil
- 4-5 plum tomatoes, crushed
- 3-4 garlic cloves, chopped fine
- 1/2 c. chopped parsley
- 1 lb. linguini or other pasta
- 1 tbsp. salt
Place scrubbed mussels in a pan with oil, tomatoes, garlic and parsley; mix well. Cover pan and cook over medium heat until mussels open; cook 6 more minutes. Remove mussels and cook sauce 6 more minutes, uncovered, over low heat.
Meanwhile, cook pasta al dente; drain. Place pasta on a large platter and pour sauce over top. Top with opened mussels. Add more fresh parsley if desired. Serves 4.
