Title: Elias' Fried Mussels w/Garlic Sauce
Categories: Seafood, Beer, Nuts, Vegetables
Yield: 6 Servings
30 Mussels; cleaned, removed
- from shell
2 c All-purpose flour
12 oz Beer
Salt
Oil
MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
200 g Walnuts
3 cl Garlic
Olive oil
1 ts Good vinegar
Salt
Mix the flour and beer to make a thin batter, season
with salt and put in the fridge.
In the meantime prepare the sauce. Put the walnuts in
the blender and grind finely, add the garlic and beat to
a paste. Add the oil slowly, drop by drop. If more is
needed, add two more spoonfuls.
Then add the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Keep the sauce
in a cool place.
Heat the oil to a high temperature. Dry the mussels on
absorbent paper, dip in the batter and then fry them,
until they puff up like crispy doughnuts. Make sure to
use top quality oil that hasn’t been used before.
Serve piping hot with the walnut sauce.
Enjoy the mussels with white wines from Asyrtiko grapes,
with a hint of woodiness: Kalliste, Oia from the barrel
Sigalas, Santorini fumé of the Santo Co-operative.
