Stuffed Mussels


Ingredients
1 dozen of fresh mussels
100g of minced pork
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of soya sauce
1/2 tablespoon of pepper
Breadcrumbs
Lemon wedges

Preparation
Toss mussels into boiling water to cook.
Remove mussels from the water when the shells open up.
Leave to drain and cool before separating the meat from the shells.
Chop up the mussels meat coarsely and mix with pork, garlic, soya sauce and pepper.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of crumbs to the mixture before neatly mounding a heaped teaspoon of stuffing into each empty half-shell.
Dust stuffed shells with remaining crumbs. Press lightly to help to stick the stuffing to the shells.
Fry mussels over medium heat with stuffed side down till golden brown.
Turn over and fry for another minute or so.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with lemon wedges and Thai sweet chili dipping sauce. (optional)
