Garlic Mussels on Toast

JUMP TO RECIPE SAVE RECIPE Saved!

I’ve been eating this dish since I was a child. My mother would always serve mussels in this way and hers were probably from a tin. Cod roe was another thing she used to slice and serve fried on toast. Hence I don’t know if I’m alone in having this as my mum is Danish or maybe everyone eats this, please let me know!

All I know is that I love Moules Marinière and this is like an unshelly cheats version on toast. Food doesn’t have to be complicated to taste good and this dish is a prime example of this

My inspiration for blogging this dish is Jacqueline at Tinned Tomatoes and her No Croutons Required challenge which is sandwiches this month then on checking the small print I read it had to be vegetarian! So here it is anyway, you can’t keep a good dish down!

Simply heat up your butter and crushed garlic, add mussels, fry and voila!

Mussels and garlic with a good squeeze of lemon, one of my favourite flavour combinations!

    I love mussels, but never had them like this before. I live a fifteen minute drive from Whitstable, so I’ll be going tomorrow to buy some caught nearby. I can’t wait to try this.

    Interesting … Do you think mussels in a jar would work or do they need to be fresh?

      My mum always used to use tinned mussels (and I have too) so I’m sure jarred ones would be fine too, maybe just pat them dry with kitchen paper as they’d be wetter I presume:-)
