Mussels on the Half Shell with Butter and Caviar

Course Appetizer
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 16 pcs Coleson's Catch Kono Mussels on the Half Shell
  • 1/2 c Caviar any style
  • 2/3 c salted butter melted
  • 2/3 c green peas fresh and young or frozen
  • 1/2 c Chicken Broth

Instructions

  • Simmer the peas until heated through and puree.
  • Fill the mussels with pea puree and melted butter; bake at 375F until heated through about 5-7 minutes.
  • I like to arrange the mussels on a tray or platter on rock salt so they don't tip over and lose their yummy sauce.
  • Top with caviar and serve.

Notes

Serve with an outstanding bread for sopping.

Mussels on the Half Shell Cioppino-style

Course Appetizer, Main Dish
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 16 pcs Coleson's Catch Kono Mussels on the Half Shell
  • 2 c Crushed Tomatoes canned 
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 c Onion diced
  • 1/2 c Marsala wine
  • 1/2 c Chicken Broth
  • 2 Tbsp garlic chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Sauté onions in the oil until clear.
  • Add the other ingredients except the mussels.
  • Simmer sauce until the thickness you like--I like it pretty thin but many like it more reduced.
  • It should cook at least half an hour to blend flavors; if it gets too thick add more broth.
  • You can make it the day before to enhance the flavors.
  • When ready to serve, add the mussels and heat through (as mussels are already cooked).

Notes

Serve with pasta or polenta.

When transporting put a marinated steak, slices of tomato, lettuce and a pickle perhaps in a plastic container. In a separate plastic bag bring your favorite bread or roll. A fried eggplant spread is outstanding with the Calamari.
