Mussels

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells with a brush to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the spring onions and fennel bulb. Remove the seeds from the Fresno chili and slice it thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ciabatta

    Slice the ciabatta loaf into thick pieces and brush each side with olive oil.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced spring onions and fennel. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 5

    Add Nduja and Chili

    Stir in the nduja and sliced Fresno chili, cooking for another 2 minutes until the nduja is melted and fragrant.

  3. 6

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

  4. 7

    Toast the Ciabatta

    While the mussels are cooking, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the ciabatta slices and toast on both sides until golden brown.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Once the mussels are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pot and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with the toasted ciabatta on the side.
