Mussels Oreganato Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a large bowl gently toss bread crumbs, herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper. Be careful not to overwork the mixture. Set aside.
• Line a baking sheet with rock salt and arrange 12 clam shells. The rock salt will help secure and level the clams on the baking sheet. Put 1 clam in each shell and top with 2 tablespoons of the bread crumb mixture. Drizzle with olive oil. Broil 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
• In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

Steps:

• in a large heavy saucepan heat oil over med-high heat.
• saute garlic until aromatic about 30 secs.
• add tomatoes, parsley, oregano and hot pepper flakes; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• add mussels, cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until mussels open.
• discard any that do not open.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover with water by about 1/4 inch. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until just tender, about 6 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, paprika, allspice, cayenne and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; stir until the potatoes are coated with the spices and begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and the tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the mussels, olives and parsley. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 4 to 5 minutes. (Discard any that do not open.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the clams in a small sauté pan and into the oven. Roast until they just open, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. Use a shucker or spoon to open the shells the rest of the way. Remove the top shells and discard, placing the clams back in the bottoms of the deeper shells.
• Whisk together the breadcrumbs, parsley, olive oil, oregano, harissa, miso, cayenne, garlic, half the scallions and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Add the stock and white wine until the stuffing resembles wet sand. Add more breadcrumbs if necessary. Stuff the clam halves with the stuffing.
• Place the clam shells on a half-sheet tray and bake until the top is lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the clams to a plate spread with coarse salt and black and pink peppercorns. Garnish with the chopped parsley and remaining scallions and serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boiling. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil until soft. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and mushrooms, and add the mussels. Season with basil, oregano, and tarragon. Cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir in olives and fresh tomatoes. Cover, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Serve mussels and sauce over pasta.
