Greenshell Mussels: Don’t worry, they’re meant to be that colour! This variety of mussels are renowned for the beautiful emerald green edge on their shell. They are sustainably farmed off the coast of New Zealand where their shells can grow anything up to 23 cm in length. The mussels themselves have a sweet and mild flavour with females being apricot coloured and males a cream colour.
How We Make It
We make a garlic crumb by melting butter and adding chopped garlic, lemon juice, parsley and breadcrumbs. This crumb is used to blanket the large Greenshell mussels, ready to be baked at home. The punchy Thermidor sauce is made by sweating onions in butter until they soften and release their sweetness. To the onions we add brandy, lobster stock, English mustard, lemon juice, double cream, tomato puree and paprika. When the sauce is thcik and glossy, we strain it to remove the onions and leave a smooth sauce which is the perfect accomapniment to mussels.
