Portuguese Mussels
Ingredient
1kg mussels
5 garlic cloves
1 cup Red Island extra virgin olive oil
2 birds eye chillies - split in half
1 bunch coriander, plus extra to serve
Crusty sourdough to serve
Method
Place a large pan over a medium to low heat. Add in the extra virgin olive oil and garlic cloves, skin and all, as well as the chillies, to the pan. Slowly heat the oil to infuse it with the flavour of the garlic.
Toss in the mussels and coriander and stir through the extra virgin olive oil.
Place the lid on and wait for mussels to open up. Once they're open, transfer to your serving bowl, garnish with some more coriander and serve with some crusty sourdough.
