Mussels in Irish cider – Redzen2
Mussels cooked in cider, cream and shallots. That’s all it takes to make us salivate! This dish, called “Mussels in Irish Cider”, has the advantage of combining 3 of Ireland’s great specialities: its mussels, its local potatoes transformed into French fries and, of course, its inimitable cider!
Irish people enjoy this dish at home, in the pub or in a seafood restaurant. Very economical to prepare, it costs no more than €10 at home, and can be enjoyed in restaurants for €10/12.
All of this is accompanied by a pint of cider, of course, and some homemade “French fries” to enhance the flavours of the dish! A delightful combination of sweet and savoury flavours! A skilful blend of apple acidity and sugar that contrasts perfectly with the sweetness and generosity of the mussel flesh!
In short, a good little dish, to be enjoyed Irish-style, preferably in an establishment facing the sea for added cachet!
