Hot summer eats: Mussel-grill fits the bill.
When it comes to backyard grilling, have you ever considered fresh blue cultured mussels? Traditionally mussels are steamed on the stove-top. However mussels can be barbequed too.
Grilled mussels offer everything you could ask for in a summertime meal: incredible taste, simplicity and nutrition in minutes - and no ketchup or relish required!
Serving seafood at a cookout always brings a touch of the unexpected and grilling fresh blue cultured mussels is sure to be a crowd pleaser. For some fresh ideas try our Mussels-on-the-Barbecue recipe or our Grilled Mussels.
A few tips when grilling mussels:
- Make sure your foil packets are tightly sealed. If necessary, use a second piece of foil.
- Place mussel packets on direct flame to get the best results.
- Keep packets to a manageable size – better to have several that one big large one.
- Experiment with flavours just as you would on the stove-top.
Now that you know how easy it is all that’s left to do is pick up a bag of fresh blue cultured mussels, invite friends and family and fire up the grill for a fabulous cookout experience!
