Title: Chilli mussels
Post by: Lucy on January 21, 2011, 11:49:01 am

We made the chilli mussels tonic and they were tender enough, but the flavor of the sauce didn.t really permeate the mussels. Anyone else notice the same? I wonder if it would work to 'baste' the mussels with the sauce as they are cooking?

Thanks for feed back, now that I know I will finish off in the oven cooking less before hand. Are you following the recipe on page 106 in the EDC? I would cook for 10 min and then 5mins in the very hot oven sauce and mussels, with my own napolitana sauce that has been precooked. I use parsley instead of thyme.   

ciao

Thanks so much for that, I'll try that next time.  :)So you don't follow the EDC recipe for the sauce?

You can follow the EDC recipe for the sauce just cook it longer.
 Cook 20 mins then place the varoma with the mussels and cook for 12- 15  mins more. I also add few mussels while copping the garlic and chilli
