Captain Mike's Steamed Mussels

This is quick, easy and fun. Perfect for a gathering of about 8 friends on a sunny afternoon. - Capn. Mike

Type: Fish, Shellfish

Recipe Ingredients

6 lbs 2724g / 96ozFresh mussels (Penn Cove's are the best)
1   Walla Walla sweet onion
1 cup 237mlOlive oil
1   Garlic
6   Shakes red wine vinegar
  Tabasco sauce - to taste
  Oregano - to taste
  Basil - to taste
1/2   Butter
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1   Inexpensive white wine

Recipe Instructions

OK, here we go. Into a large pot or wok, add the oil, garlic, and onion, all minced. Get it hot and add the spices. When it's real hot, add the mussels and walk them around until the mussels just begin to open.

Now you can pour in most of the wine (save enough for a glass for yourself), vinegar, and butter. Put the lid on and steam those little critters for about 3 to 4 minutes.

When they are fully opened, you are ready to serve into bowls (so you can include some broth with each serving). You'll want some slightly crisp garlic bread to soak up the broth. That's the way we do it.

This recipe yields ?? servings.
