As the season for fall sports gets into full swing, you want to enjoy your favorite team with some great game food. This recipe is an all time winner! It is true pub grub from the Brazen Head, on Lower Bridge Street in Dublin, a bar that has been in the pub business for some 800 years. Try this dish, then just sit back and enjoy!
Mussels in Garlic and Guinness
2 pounds of fresh mussels, scrubbed
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
1/2 cup Guinness
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablspoons unsalted Kerrygold Irish butter
lemon wedges for serving
Fresh bread for serving (I used a whole wheat baquette)
1. Put a stockpot over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the mussels and remaining ingredients and cover. Cook, stirring once or twice, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mussels open.
2. To serve, divide the mussels among shallow bowls and ladle the broth over them. Sprinkle with extra parsley and serve with a slice of lemon. Yes, it's that easy! And the fresh and delicious taste is one you won't soon forget.
Note: We served hot peppers fresh from the grill on the dipping bread to add a bit of spice to the meal. Also, to make this more hearty fare, just serve over pasta. There you have it: healthy, easy and delicious food for your next game.
Move over pizza and wings you just got some serious competition.
Go Irish!
