Firecracker Mussels

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs fresh PEI Mussels
  • 2 tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 Thai Chilies, diced
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1 Cup Light Beer
  • 1/4 Cup Green Onions, chopped (optional)
  • Flatbread to soak up the yummy broth

HOW-TO-COOK

  1. Rinse the mussels under cold running water, gently moving them around with your hands.
  2. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, sauté until softened.
  3. Add Lime Juice, Sriracha, Honey, Thai Chilies and Kosher Salt. Let simmer for 2 minutes, then add beer to pot and stir.
  4. Add the mussels and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to high and cook for 7 minutes or until steam is pouring out from the lid for 15 seconds. Remember – no peeking and keep that lid on. While mussels are steaming, warm the flatbread and chop the green onions.
  5. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for about 1 minute.
  6. Stir and pour into individual bowls with the broth. Discard any mussel that did not open or has a cracked shell. Sprinkle with green onions, and serve with warm flatbread and lime wedges.
