September 25, 2014 Mejillones Rellenos “Tigre” (Tiger Stuffed Mussels) by Pilar Ruiz / You can find more of her recipes at comomegustacocinar.blogspot.com This week we want to share with you this easy recipe cooked with mussels. It is a different way to eat seafood and we are sure you are going to love it They are the perfect snacks to enjoy with family and friends. But before sharing the mussels, we want to tell you some of the benefits they have for your health. Mussels have the most impressive nutritional profile of all shellfish. They contain high levels of highly desirable long chain fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fats have many beneficial effects, including improving brain function and reducing inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis. Mussels are also a brilliant source of vitamins. Plus they give you a shot of important minerals, such as zinc, which helps build your immune system. Mussels even contain levels of iron and folic acid to rival red meats. And why do we call them Tiger? because of the spicy touch of the tabasco sauce Serves: 4 / Preparation Time: 30 minutes / Difficulty: Easy INGREDIENTS * 1/2 kilo (about 1 pounds) large mussels * 275 ml. (approx 1 1/8 cup) olive oil (25 ml or 2 Tablespoons to saute the chopped green onions and mussel meat and the remaining 250 ml. Or 1 1/16 cup to fry the breaded mussels) * 2 Bay leaves * 2 spring onions * 2 tablespoons wheat flour * 125 ml. (approx ½ cup) water from boiling the mussels * 125 ml. (approx ½ cup) whole milk * salt and ground black pepper (to taste) * 3 drops tabasco sauce (optional) * 1 egg, beaten * fine bread crumbs HOW TO PREPARE * First of all, we are going to clean the mussels well. Rinse them under cold running water, scrape external particles off of the Shell and remove the stringy parts (debeard). * Then, we are going to boil them in a pot with hot water (125 ml—approx ½ cup), some salt, and 2 bay leaves and then after boiling, we are going to keep the broth (liquid). * We separate the mussel meat away from the shell and we are going to keep both (the meat and one shell from every mussel). * We chop the mussels meat finely and then chop the spring onions as well. * In a frying pan with olive oil (25 ml. Or 2 Tablespoons) we are going to saute the spring onions and add the mussels meat, and stir both well. We are going to saute them for 2-3 minutes * And now, we are going to sprinkle in the flour, stir and let it cook for 2-3 minutes * We add the broth liquid and the milk and stir well.Then some salt, black pepper and the tabasco sauce drops. (if you wish). * We continue stirring until it thickens and the mixture almost separates from the pan * We will let it cook for 2 or 3 minutes more and then we take it off of the heat. . * Still while it is hot, we will fill the shells of the mussels with the mix and let it cool * Once cooled we are going to dip them first in the beaten egg and then coat them with bread crumbs *And then, to finish with, we are going to deep fry them in an abundant amount of hot olive oil (250 ml. Or 1 1/16 cup) (though oil not hot enough to boil, since they will burn immediately). We will let them drain on absorbent paper. Now they are ready to serve at the table and enjoy with family and friends! By the way, if you have a special wish about any recipe you would like to learn to cook, please let us know.
