Mussels with Saffron and Salametti

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lb (1 kg) mussels
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) Mastro® Olive Oil, divided
  • 4 oz (125 g) Mastro® Salametti, diced
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup (250 mL) white wine
  • Pinch saffron
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) torn fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
  • Ciabatta baguette, halved lengthwise

Directions

  • Discard any mussels with broken or chipped shells, and any that do not close when tapped. Scrub shells with sturdy brush; remove and discard beards.
  • Heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil in large saucepan set over medium heat; cook salametti, shallots and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add tomatoes; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in wine and saffron; simmer for about 2 minutes or until slightly reduced.
  • Increase heat to high. Add mussels; cover with tight-fitting lid. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until mussels have opened (discard any that remain closed). Stir in basil and butter. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, brush remaining oil over cut sides of ciabatta. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Tear into pieces and serve with mussels.
  • Tip: For authentic garlic bread, rub the cut side of a halved garlic clove over bread immediately after removing the bread from the oven.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 5 - 10

Ingredients:

1 package (200g) Bocconcini cheese (10 Bocconcini balls)
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Calabrian chilli paste
10 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
5 pimento stuffed olives, cut in half widthwise or thinly sliced

Instructions:
Preparing the Bocconcini Cheese: Drain and rinse a package of Bocconcini cheese. Pat them dry with paper towel or a tea towel and set aside.

Making the Hot Honey: To a small bowl, add the honey and Calabrian chilli paste. Give it a good mix and set aside.

Creating the Halloween Eyeballs: Grab a slice of Prosciutto and wrap it around the sides and bottom of a Bocconcini ball, leaving the topside of the cheese exposed. Repeat the process with the remaining Bocconcini balls and Prosciutto slices. 

Transfer the Eyeballs to a serving platter or plate, leaving a little space between them. 

Using a small spoon, spoon Hot Honey over the Bocconcini and Prosciutto.

Drizzle the excess Hot Honey over the plate or platter and top each Halloween Eyeball with a sliced olive. Serve and enjoy!
