I remember sitting in Amalfi, overlooking the ocean, and had a late lunch that included this awesome peppered mussels dish. —sumradagnoth
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup
extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
-
4
cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
1
fresh hot red chile (like fresno), thinly sliced into rings
-
3 pounds
black mussels, scrubbed and cleaned
-
salt, to taste
-
1.5 cups
dry white wine
-
1/4 cup
finely chopped italian parsley
-
freshly ground black pepper, in large amounts
-
juice of one orange
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pan with high sides over high heat. Add garlic and chile and briefly cook until garlic lightly browns.
-
Add the mussels to the pan and cook briefly. Add the wine and a light sprinkling of salt. Cover the pan and cook until the mussels just open.
-
Remove the cover and grind an aggressive amount of black pepper over the mussels. Don't be afraid to use a lot.
-
Remove from the heat. Add the parsley, a drizzle of great quality extra-virgin olive oil, and squeeze the orange juice over the top. Transfer to a serving bowl.
