Remember that monkfish in tomato sauce I (and my dad) made last weekend? A usual pairing would be a salad. But, who wants usual when you can get extraordinaire?
Our foolish self knows that the best way to pair fish and seafood is with more seafood. However, after cooking the hell out of us with the monkfish, I propose a great five minute’s appetizer: super quick and basic steamed mussels.
Start cleaning and opening the mussels. Kick the sand off.
I don’t know how to name this pot… it is made of two and the top has little holes, it’s to make steamed food. But if you got that Chinese thing that also cooks steaming, use that, whatever you got will be perfectly fine.
Fill the bottom pot with water and add a lemon slice and a couple of bay leaf. This will add a bit extra flavor on the mussels. Put the mussels in the top pot and cover it. Turn the heat on and cook for about 10 minutes.
Serve with lemon and easy as that, you got an excellent appetizer in less than 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
