Pickled Mussels and Tomato Sauce on Chargrilled Sourdough
Pickled mussels are a flavourful and versatile seafood product made by preserving mussels in a solution of sugar and vinegar (and other aromatics). This process not only imparts a unique tangy flavour to the mussels but also extends their shelf life, making them a convenient addition to your store cupboard!
Pickled mussels can be enjoyed in salads, pasta, stews and even as a snack as shown in this recipe.
