Mussels Steamed In Beer Recipe By Tasty

EASY "6" INGREDIENT STEAMED MUSSELS IN BEER

Steps:

• Base -- In a medium wide saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute a couple of minutes.
• If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, this is completely optional.
• Mussels -- One NOTE: Very important. Rinse the mussels well in cold water in a collander. Make sure that any opened mussels you tap a couple of times and if they do not close, they are BAD (dead) and make sure to toss those out.
• Add the beer and mussels to the pan and reduce the heat to medium and cover. Simmer approximately 5-7 minutes until the mussels begin to open. Turn the heat off and add the butter and parsley and stir well. Don't over cook the mussels. You just want to make sure they all open well.
• Serve -- As I mentioned - crusty bread. I like to drizzle with olive oil and toast, then rub with a garlic clove and a tomato. Just cut a tomato in half and rub over the bread. It has amazing flavor. The broth and onions in the broth are a great topping to the bread with. ENJOY! This very simple easy dish.

SEA ISLAND STEAMED MUSSELS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and become translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer.
• Add the mussels, cover the pot and cook until they open, 3 to 5 minutes. (Check halfway through and transfer any open mussels to a serving bowl.) Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, swirl the pot a few times to incorporate the butter into the broth and then toss the mussels with the broth. Transfer the mussels to a serving bowl, discarding any that did not open. Pour the broth over the mussels, sprinkle with the parsley and squeeze the lemon over top. Serve with Grilled Garlic Bread.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, stir together the butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on both sides of the bread. Grill until toasted and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.

BEER-STEAMED MUSSELS

Steps:

• Clean mussels by scrubbing their shells with a brush while rinsing under cold running water. If necessary, use a paring knife to tug and cut out weedy "beards" coming out of the bottom of the shells. Pick through mussels and discard any with broken or open shells that won't close when you tap them. Heat a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add mussels, shallot, garlic and tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook for two minutes and then add beer and continue cooking and stirring until shells open, about another four minutes.
• Transfer mussels to serving bowls with a slotted spoon and continue to simmer liquid to reduce it slightly, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove pan from heat and swirl in butter. Stir in chervil or tarragon if using. Pour broth over mussels, sprinkle pretzel crumbs over each portion (if using) and serve immediately.

MUSSELS STEAMED IN BEER WITH CRèME FRAîCHE, HERBS, AND PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine bread cubes, Parmesan, and oil in medium bowl; sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Spread bread cubes evenly on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bread cubes are crisp and golden around edges, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• Mix parsley, chives, tarragon, and chervil, if desired, in small bowl. Whisk crème fraîche and both mustards in another small bowl to blend; set aside.
• Melt butter in extra-large pot with lid over high heat. Add garlic and thyme; stir 1 minute. Add mussels, tomatoes, and green onions. Pour beer over, then add crème fraîche mixture; sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Cover tightly with lid and cook until steam appears, about 3 minutes. Add half of fresh herb mixture and stir until mussels and herbs are gently mixed. Cover tightly with lid again and cook until mussels open, 4 to 5 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open).
• Using slotted spoon, divide mussels among 6 bowls. Season mussel juices lightly with salt and pepper, then pour juices over each serving. Sprinkle each serving with Parmesan croutons and remaining herb mixture and serve.
• * Available at most supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.
