Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mussels

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

  4. 4

    Prepare Sea Urchin

    While the mussels are steaming, carefully open the sea urchin and scoop out the roe. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove them from the heat. Squeeze lime juice over the mussels and add salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with slices of country bread on the side. Top the mussels with the sea urchin roe before serving.
