New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels with Macadamia, Chive and Citrus Kelp Crust

mussels_picIngredients

  • 12 New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels (1/2 shell)
  • 250gms (9oz) Macadamia nuts (sliced and toasted)
  • 100gms (4oz) Lemon kelp seasoning or substitute with a quality lemon pepper & wakame
  • 1 Orange zest (fine) from a single orange
  • 6 Chives spears (finely cut)
  • 150gms (5oz) Butter (softened)

Method

Combine macadamia nuts, lemon kelp seasoning, orange zest and chives in a bowl and mix well. Add butter and mix to combine. Loosen the mussel meat from the shell for ease of service.

Top the mussel with the crust, evenly covering the mussel meat.

Toast the crusted mussels under a hot grill (or bake in a hot oven) until the crust is toasted and the mussel is hot (1-2 minutes). Serve hot on a plate or platter.
