Baja Mussels Recipe

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

   Prepare the Grapefruit and Jalapeño

   Segment the grapefruit, removing the skin and pith. Finely chop the jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

3. 3

   Cook the Garlic

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

4. 4

   Add Wine and Mussels

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

5. 5

   Add Grapefruit and Jalapeño

   Once the mussels are cooked, add the grapefruit segments and chopped jalapeño to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

6. 6

   Season and Serve

   Remove from heat, squeeze lime juice over the mussels, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
