Ingredients
SIDS LEMON THYME & MUSTARD OIL
1 clove garlic, sliced
¼ cup water
½ cup ouzo
1 kg local mussels, debearded & scrubbed
SIDS SALT & PEPPER, to taste
Sprinkle of Greek feta cheese
Handful fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON
1 lemon
Directions
Put a large pot on a high heat.
Add a good splash of SIDS LEMON THYME & MUSTARD OIL, garlic and stir, then immediately add mussels, water and ouzo. Cover and let the mussels steam, shaking the pan often.
After a couple of minutes, start to remove the mussels that are open onto your serving dish. Cover, shake and repeat until they have all opened. If there are a couple not open, prise them open with a knife, they should be fine, it just means they have held on harder. If it smells, discard it.
Once all the mussels are removed, reduce the ouzo and liquid that’s come out of the mussels for a couple of minutes. Season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER and pour over the mussels. Garnish with a sprinkle of feta, parsley, a very light sprinkle of SIDS CRAZY LEMON and a squeeze of lemon.
