Fried mussels with cheese
This recipe is inspired from Volos, the greek city that invented this meze recipe.
Ingredients
• 20 mussels, washed and cleaned
• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
• 150 ml dry white wine + 70 ml extra
• 150 ml of hot water
• 1/2 hot, chopped pepper
• 1/2 tsp. lemon and pepper soup (optional)
• 1 tsp. sweet mustard
• 60 gr. slice, grated (just enough for the finishing touch)
• 2 tbsp. soup dill, finely chopped
• 70 ml of extra virgin olive oil KUKUZI + 70 ml for the sauce
• KUKUZI aromatic salt, freshly ground pepper
Procedure
In a large saucepan, heat the 70 ml of olive oil over high heat and sauté the garlic for a few seconds, scattering its aroma. Quench with 150 ml of white wine and bring to a boil and evaporate the alcohol. Add the hot water and, once it boils, add the mussels and stir. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the mussels are open. We throw away any mussels that do not open. Transfer the mussels with a slotted spoon to a plate, strain the broth and keep it aside.
In a large pan, heat the 70 ml of KUKUZI olive oil over high heat and add the pepper, lemon pepper, mustard, 70 ml of wine, salt and pepper and the mussel broth. Stir and cook for 7-8 minutes. Add the feta and stir to melt in the sauce. Pour the sauce over the mussels, sprinkle with dill and serve.
