I have had many people tell me these are the best mussels they've ever had! Great as a light summer meal served with crusty bread to dip in the left over sauce!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs mussels, scrubbed & debearded (about 40)
1 tablespoon butter
5 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
2 -4 jalapenos or 2 -4 serrano peppers, sliced
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, then next 5 ingredients. Add mussels. Cover and steam until mussels open, about 7 minutes (discard any mussels that do not open). Using slotted spoon, transfer mussels to large bowl. Simmer sauce uncovered until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.
  • Note: I put my veggies in the food processor and chop them up to make quick work of this one!
