Easter is almost here, which means it’s just a few more Fridays to Lent. Growing up in Italy, we tried to have seafood every Friday, even during non-Lent weeks. Surrounded by the ocean, it’s easy to opt for seafood any day of the week. In the US, the seafood section at the supermarket is the most expensive spot, so good seafood is almost a luxury! Whereas in southern Italy, it’s relatively inexpensive, you can also catch your own!
Quick, delicious and with a hint of crunch, these mussels au Gratin are a wonderful option for a quick week-night dinner when you want something delicious and healthy, but time is of the essence. This is another staple served in Calabria, Sicily and Puglia, where the surrounding oceans offer a bounty of fresh seafood. Be sure to spend a few minutes scrubbing the mussels clean and debearding any noticeable hair. To mix things up, you can follow the same exact recipe with clams. Mussels au Gratin Cozza Gratinate Serves: 4 – 6 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded ½ cup dry white wine 1 cup fresh bread crumbs 2 garlic cloves, minced Juice of half lemon 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Sea salt to taste
