Why Vigo Presses?
What we do
This is a delicious yet simple recipe, which uses the best natural ingredients to make a wholesome and inexpensive meal. The mussels can be eaten as a starter or a main course accompanied by fresh bread & salad. Alternatively you can serve the mussels, as the folk of Belgium famously do, with “pommes frites & mayonnaise”! They are likely to drink one of their many celebrated beers as an accompaniment, whereas we would prefer to drink a nice glass of homemade cider with the meal.
Folklore says that mussels are at their best when there is an “R” in the month - i.e. not in late spring or high summer. Here in the West Country, we are lucky to have several renowned mussels producing areas on the south Devon coast (see below) but good quality farmed mussels from other areas are readily available at good fishmongers and supermarkets.
Ingredients
Serves 2 as a main course or 4-5 as a starter
Method
(*) For information about Devon’s artisan food producers, including fisheries and cider producers see the wonderful illustrated, hardback book The Devon Food Book by Carol Trewin. The book can be found on Amazon. “This book is a great opportunity to showcase the depth and richness of the outstanding food and drink that we have here in Devon. A great way of finding out more about the chefs, producers and other businesses that have made the county's food culture one of the best in England." Michael Caines.
