SMOKED MUSSELS
Steps:
- To smoke the mussels in a stovetop smoker: Line the smoker with foil and wood chips according to the manufacturer's directions. Position the rack and add the mussels. Slide the lid closed and place the smoker over moderate heat. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not open. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Remove the mussels from their shells, toss them in the sauce, and place them in a disposable foil pan. Place the pan into the smoker. Cover and cook over moderate heat for 15 minutes. Chill well before serving. To smoke the mussels in a covered grill: Soak 2 cups of wood chips in water for 30 minutes. Add the mussels to a shallow disposable aluminum pan. Light a gas or charcoal grill. When the coals are white-hot, drain the wood chips and scatter them directly on the coals, or place them in a small disposable aluminum pan and place the pan directly on the coals. Position the rack and place the pan containing the mussels on it. Cover the grill and cook until the mussels open. Remove the mussels, dicarding any that have not opened. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Remove the mussels from their shells, toww them in the sauce, return them to the foil pan, and place it back on the grill. Cover the grill and cook for another 15 minutes, adding more wood chips if you placed the first chips directly on the coals, or to get a smokier flavor. Chill before serving. Leftover mussels can be mixed with a little mayonnaise and lemon juice to make a snack, salad, or cold appetizer,
