Directions

Steamed Mussels

Heat oil to medium heat in a medium sauce pan and add the fennel, leek, garlic, salt and chili flakes.  Once the garlic starts to crackle, add the mussels and stir the ingredients together.  Add the white wine and cover.  Steam until all the mussels are open (3-5 minutes) and finish with butter.  Taste broth and adjust seasoning accordingly.  Serve in a large bowl and spoon the Salsa Verde over the top (see recipe below)

Salsa Verde

Put the minced herbs in a bowl and add the juice and zest from the orange to the mixture.  Cover the herbs with olive oil (enough to saturate) and mix together.  Spoon over the Steamed Mussels.

Salsa Verde Note:

This recipe makes more Salsa Verde than you are likely to need for the Steamed Mussels.  It will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.
