Aunt Linda's Mussels
Aunt Linda has made this recipe for me several times when visiting her in New Hampshire. It seems fairly easy and tasty. She said when buying mussels to ask for rope grown or PEI (prince edward island) variety.
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 c onion, chopped
1/2 c white wine
2 lbs mussels
1/4 c blue cheese, crumbled
2 cloves garlic, minced
handful fresh herbs (cilantro, parsely, basil, or chives)
fresh ground pepper
heat 2 tbsp oil in wok and saute onion until soft. Over medium heat, add wine, reduce 4 mins and then add the mussels and cover the wok. When you start to smell them, they've opened and are done. Throw in blue cheese, garlic, herbs and toss together. Serve with a fresh baguette.
