    Categories: White wine, Wine, Onion, Mayo, Seafood, Appetizers

    -= Ingredients =-
    1 Onion (Medium); Chopped
    1 bunch Fresh Dill; Chopped
    2 Bay Leaves
    6 Red Pepper Flakes; (Or More
    1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
    2 cups Dry White Wine

    leaves, red pepper flakes, pepper, wine and 3 cups water. Bring liquid
    to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 minutes. Strain into a clean pan.
    (If desired, recipe may be done ahead to this point. Refrigerate broth
    and mussels) 2. Rinse (do not soak) mussels and remove wirelike
    beards if visible. Add salt and aquavit to the broth and bring to a
    boil. Add the mussels, cover and cook over medium-high heat until
    shells have opened, 3 to 5 minutes. 3. Remove pan from heat and
    discard mussels whose shells remain closed. Remove remaining mussels
    from their shells and discard shells. 4. Mix mayonnaise with most of
    remaining dill (reserving some for garnish) and, if desired, aquavit
    to taste. Place mayonnaise in a small bowl (or spread on toasted
    bread). Place bowl on a plate and surround with the mussels, each one
    (or, depending on size, a pair) speared with a toothpick; or cut each
    slice of toast into 6 pieces and top each with a mussel. Transfer to a
    platter, garnish with remaining dill and serve.

    Cath, thanks for this recipe! It sounds wonderful and I adore mussels - on
    men and in shells!

    money IMHO.. We tried this one the other day - it was very good. Found
    it while snooping around on the net...Here it is if you are interested:

    Midia Sahanaki (Greek Recipe for Mussels)

    Recipe By:
    Serving Size: 1
    Cuisine: Greek
    Main Ingredient: Seafood-Other
    Categories: Tomato, Parsley, Oregano, Olive oil, Cheese, Seafood, Greek

    -= Ingredients =-
    1 kilogram Mussels (fresh if
    200 grams Feta cheese
    Green chilli (to taste,
    1 large Tomato
    Parsley
    Oregano
    Olive oil
    Water

    -= Instructions =-
    THE MESSY BIT: Wash the mussels individually (dont forget behind the
    ears!!), making sure no pieces of shell are still attached, and no sand
    is left in the flesh. Also remove the tiny thread you sometimes find
    in them - it is reported to be irritating to the stomach if ingested.
    THE GOOD BIT: When the mussels are thoroughly washed and checked, put
    them in a pan and add just enough water to cover them. Bring to the
    boil, and boil for about five minutes. Then add three tablespoonfuls
    of olive oil, and the chilli chopped into ringlets, as well as a
    handful of not-too-finely chopped parsley. Grate the tomato, with or
    without the skin, it is up to you, and add. Add the salt and pepper
    (not too much salt, the mussels have their own). Boil for another
    fifteen minutes (but not longer - the mussels will toughen up if
    boiled too long - theyre funny that way!). About three minutes before
    taking the pan off the heat, add the feta broken up into small pieces
    and stir. Add the oregano just before you remove the pan from the
    heat. THE GREATEST BIT: Taste it...

    Not forgetting cheeky wee Cathy :P

    O

    Who, moi, Cheeky?

    Sorry to answer all the posts backwards, but a) I am not really awake
    yet and b) our normal newsfeed has been down since Monday - the excuse
    is firewall problems <sigh> so I have been using Google groups.... and
    c) Google has just changed their user interface - looks much more
    "pretty" but is confusing the hell outta me. And OMG, they have added
    a "rating" system for each post! I shudder to think how many wars
    that's gonna start..... take a peek and you will see what I mean...

    Cheers
