Mussel Fritters

Ingredients

Method

  1. Open the mussels by pouring hot water over them in a bowl, or steaming them slightly in an open pan with a little water. Remove from the shells and clean, then chop finely or whiz in a food processor, leaving the mixture a little chunky.
  2. With a fork, whisk together the egg, flour, baking soda, salt and pepper to taste and the herbs. Add the chopped mussels and chill the mixture for 1 hour if you have the time.
  3. Heat the oil gently in a heavy-based frying pan and fry large tablespoons of the mixture until golden brown on both sides.
  4. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

These were so simple to make and absolutely delicious! I didn’t have fresh mussels on hand so I bought the chilli marinated mussels from woollies. I also added corn and an extra egg.

Havn't made these since being able to get them deepish off the rocks in Wellington,and that's a long time ago. I open them freehand. And I use quarter teaspoon of Edmonds baking powder not soda.
Will be doing it more often. Thanks
