Steak Spice PEI Mussels

Ingredients

• 5 lb (2.2 kg) fresh PEI Mussels
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
• 4 Tbsp (60 mL) of Montreal Steak Spice
• Crusty bread for the broth
• Dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional for extra kick)
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) ground coriander
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) dried thyme
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) dried rosemary
• 2 Tbsp (30 mL) Worcestershire sauce

Method

1. 1

   Rinse fresh PEI Mussels under tap water. Tap any mussels that are still open and discard any that do not close after being tapped and rinsed. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large pot, combine the water and Montreal Steak Spice. If unavailable, grind together garlic, coriander, thyme and rosemary and add to the pot together with Worcestershire sauce.

3. 3

   Add the mussels and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to high and cook until steam pours out from under the lid and the shells are open, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for about 1 minute. Discard any mussels that do not open.

4. 4

   Stir mussels well to coat with sauce. Transfer to a large serving bowl and enjoy.
