Belgian IPA Old Bay Mussels

Ingredients
  • Serves 2-4
  • 16 Blue Hill Bay Mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 0.5 bottle of Flying Dog Belgian-Style IPA
  • 2 cloves fresh Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 58g Spanish Onion, julienne
  • 0.25 Red Pepper, julienne
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 60g Fresh Fennel (reserve some of the delicate green tops), thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil
Method

1. Add the oil to a large saute pan and saute all vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the garlic, cover and sweat the vegetables on lower heat for about 2 minutes. The onion and fennel should be translucent. 2. Increase the heat to high and add mussels and Old Bay Seasoning and saute to incorporate the vegetables. When the mussels start to open, add beer and butter and cover the pan for about 4 more minutes, being careful not to overcook. 3. Remove from the heat and arrange mussels in a dish or covered mussel pot. Pour reducing liquid and vegetables on top. 4. Garnish with fennel tops, additional Old Bay Seasoning and warm crusty bread if desired.
