PEI Mussels Recipe

Prepare the Mussels

Rinse the PEI mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove any beards attached to the mussels.

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add Nduja and Sherry

Stir in the nduja and cook for another minute until it starts to melt. Pour in the dry sherry and bring to a simmer.

Cook the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Finish and Serve

Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
