Ingredients
5 lbs (2.25 kg) PEI Mussels
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) apple juice
3 tbsp (45 mL) apple cider vinegar
Method
- Rinse fresh PEI mussels under tap water. Tap any mussels that are still open and discard any that do not close after being tapped and rinsed. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the onion and garlic until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the apple juice. Add the mussels and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to high and cook until steam pours out from under the lid and the shells are open, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for about 1 minute. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar and transfer to a large serving bowl. Some crusty bread makes a nice accompaniment to this recipe.
