Description

Fresh farmed Canadian mussels pair perfectly with the sunny flavors of cilantro, corn and black beans in this flavorful, healthy recipe. Ideal for sharing, this dish is delicious year-round.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb fresh blue cultured mussels
  • 4 green onions (scallions) light green and white part only, finely sliced
  • 1 red pepper, cored, seeds removed and diced
  • 1 can (19 oz) corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (19 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeds removed and minced
  • 1⁄2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • juice of 2 limes
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • small handful cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh blue mussels in tap water and set aside. Discard any mussel that does not close after being rinsed.
  2. Place mussels in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, until mussels are open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Leave to cool a little, then shuck mussels and discard shells.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients in a serving bowl. Add mussels and toss together. Salad can be served immediately, but will be even better after a night left in the refrigerator.
