Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced prosciutto, about half of a thick slice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 pound mussels, cleaned
1/2 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and the prosciutto and cook, stirring often, until the prosciutto is crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Remove the skillet from the heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and toss in the oil to coat. Stir in the parsley and 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
  • Meanwhile, for the mussels: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the mussels and white wine. Cover and give the pot a shake. Cook, shaking occasionally, until the mussels have just opened, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels.
  • Position a rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Discard the top shells of the mussels and loosen the mussel meat from the bottom shell. Leave the meat in the shell and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Using a small spoon, pack the filling in each of the mussel shells. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Broil until the filling is golden and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

MUSSELS IN A SHERRY MARINADE



Mussels in a Sherry Marinade image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 49m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dry white wine
1 cup medium-dry sherry
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
3 to 4 sprigs thyme
3 to 4 bay leaves
1 dried red chile pepper
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 pounds mussels

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except the mussels in a very large pan. (You may want to tie the more pungent flavorings such as the chile pepper, cloves, and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth so they are easy to remove after cooking.) Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, scrub the mussels under running water, pulling off the beards. Discard any mussels that are broken or do not close when tapped on the counter.
  • Stir the mussels into the hot marinade. Cover the pan and cook over high heat, stirring them once, until the mussels open, about 5 minutes. Take care not to overcook them or they will be tough. Leave them to cool in the cooking liquid.
  • Transfer the mussels to a bowl, with the marinade, discarding any that have not opened. Discard the chile pepper. Cover tightly and refrigerate the mussels for 24 hours, stirring occasionally?they will be plump and absorb almost all the liquid. Let them come to room temperature before serving in bowls, discarding the seasonings in the cheesecloth.
  • Alternative: Serve the mussels at once, while still piping hot. Discard the chile pepper, or the bag of seasonings if used, and taste the broth. If you find it too spicy, stir in some cream. Serve the mussels with plenty of bread.
