Mussels

Thursday, September 27, 2007

When I met Hubby, I had never had lobster, mussels and quite a few other things. Turns out we both love Mussels and they’re SO EASY to make. We usually just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot, but here’s an attempt at a recipe:

Steamed Mussels (by ME!)
1 pound of mussels
1 cup white wine
1/2 onion – chopped
3 cloves garlic – minced

Pour everything into a big pot. Be sure to throw out any mussels that are already opened.

Cover pot and put burner on med-high. When mussels are all opened, they are done. Serve with wine sauce.

Main Meal, Seafood

I just got an ice cream maker and cannot wait to start trying it out… this looks a bit above my skill level, but a good thing to work towards!

  I completely understand wanting to start out with an easier recipe. Sorbets are really easy. No cooking necessary for most sorbet recipes. But def keep this one in the back of your mind for when you feel more confident!

I made this dark chocolate ice cream last year, and it is definitely the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had. The 5-day wait time is pure torture, but it’s completely worth it. So glad you enjoyed this as much as I did!

  I agree, it was complete torture, especially after taking a taste after it had processed in the machine…

A rich, deep chocolate ice cream is worth the wait! It’s so hard to find a recipe for the decadent chocolate ice I desire, this recipe has moved to the top of my to-do list!

  This is definitely one of those things. I love chocolate but could only handle one small scoop at a time.

I would love to try this recipe. I am wondering why you used coconut milk, and I’m assuming full fat coconut milk?
- beantownbaker — June 16th, 2013 @ 7:47 pm
  
  i use coconut milk because I’m lactose intolerant so I can’t use cow’s milk or heavy cream. If you want to use those dairy products, follow the instructions in the original recipe. And yes, I use full fat coconut milk.
