Garlic mussels en croute
Ready cooked, shelled mussels and ready-prepared puff pastry sheets make this starter a real winner!
What you need
- 300 g cooked, shelled mussels
- 3 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 40 g butter, softened
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 tsp chopped fresh parsley
- 175 g puff pastry sheets, ready rolled
- 1 egg, beaten
- to garnish
- 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
Method
Preheat oven to 220°C.
Toss the cooked mussels in the lemon juice. Divide into individual 150 ml ramekin dishes.
Mix together the butter, garlic and parsely. Dot on top of each dish of mussels.
Cut out rounds of pastry, slightly larger than the ramekins, to form their lids. Dampen the edges of the dishes with water. Press the pastry lids on top.
Brush with beaten egg. Make a steam-hole in the centre of each. Place on a baking tray. Cook in the oven for about 12 min until golden brown and well risen.
Serve, garnished with the parsley.
