The first official Sicilian recipe on this site is perhaps the easiest...Lemon and mussels.
I think I'm in love with this dish. Firstly, I'm already well acquainted with mussels, as there's a fair amount available right here in the Puget Sound area.
Secondly, this is one of those dishes that take absolutely no time to make. On a busy day, this is a perfect dish to finish off the evening.
Quick note: You want to bring out your higher quality olive oil, as it plays an integral part in the flavors.
Steam your mussels over boiling water. As they start to open, whisk together in a small bowl the juice of the lemon, the olive oil, salt, pepper and the parsley.
When the mussels are cooked, remove the top part of the shell and place on a plate. Drizzle the lemon/olive oil over top.
Serves 6
