Cajun Mussels
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon each of cayenne pepper, oregano, basil and thyme
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 2 green (spring) onions, chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, chopped
- 1/2 green pepper, pith removed and sliced
- 1 1/2 lb. cultured mussels
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp. water
Instructions
Heat oil in medium saucepan. Add garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, herbs and spices. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside. In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the oil. Stir-fry onions, celery, green pepper and garlic until tender crisp. Add mussels and tomato sauce mixture. Bring to a boil. Add wine and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until all mussels open completely, about 5 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels and serve on a large warm plate garnished with Lemon wedges and parsley sprigs. Supply crusty bread with it to mop up the spicy sauce. Enjoy
