Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    In a large pot, add enough water to cover the mussels. Bring to a boil and add the mussels. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Onion Mixture

    While the mussels are cooking, finely chop the red onion and cilantro. In a bowl, combine the chopped onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. Place the mussels on a serving platter and spoon the onion mixture over them. Top with fried corn before serving.
