Preparing step by step:
- Boil the mussels in the classic manner.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 ºC (possibly using the grill function).
- Remove the shell covering the mussels.
- Cut the mussels loose and leave them in the bottom half of the shell.
- Lay the mussels on a baking tray.
- Place a spoonful of cream on each mussel and sprinkle them with paprika powder, breadcrumbs and parsley.
- Lay a beautiful mound of mixed salad in the centre of each of the four plates and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Grill the mussels for approximately 2
- minutes in the oven until the cream boils and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Place them on the plates around the salad and serve immediately.Tip White breadcrumbs are easy to make by rubbing a pre-cooked roll through a sieve or finely chopping two slices of white bread (without crust) in the food processor.
