Ingredients
Your FFT Fish & Sauce kit will include
- 1kg Cornish Rope-Grown Mussels
- 200g pouch of Pesto Mussel Sauce
Further ingredients required to make this recipe
- 160g Peas
- 100g Plum Tomatoes
- 120g Focaccia
Method
- Wash your mussels thoroughly and de-beard, discarding any cracked ones or ones that stay stubbornly open when tapped.
- Select a pan, with a well-fitting lid, of a suitable size( The mussels should loosely cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer). Warm the pan over a medium heat BEFORE adding your mussels. Once the mussels are in the pan, replace the lid and cook on a high heat, stirring and shaking the pan occasionally.
- Chop the tomatoes into a chunky dice.
- As the mussels start to open, add the pouch of pesto sauce, the tomatoes and the peas, stir again and re-cover. Bring the sauce up to the boil and cook until all the mussels have opened. (Important- discard any that remain closed)
- Cut the focaccia into 4 slices and toast lightly.
- To serve, divide the mussels into two bowls and serve with the toasted focaccia on the side
