多年前,我一个人在荷兰工作了几个月. 当地同事有时下了班带我出去吃饭。有一次同事说我们去Brussels吧,什么?我的眼睛睁的老大了,开车到另一个国家去吃饭? 同事说:对,我们去吃mussels, 那里的mussels好吃的一塌糊涂! 看着他陶醉的样子,我顿时觉得值得去试试。我们开了2个小时才到,餐馆是门面不大的铺子,在一条古老巷子里,路面是磨得很光的石子路, 同事点了mussel, 上来一大锅, 飘着浓郁的番茄味,夹杂着蒜香,意大利的香草味,热热地剥开mussel吃,还用面包蘸着汤汁。。。 那个诱人,美妙的味道, 多少年过去了都忘不了。 我现在山寨一下, 我们这里经常有New Zealand 的冰冻mussel, 新鲜的不容易买到,买新鲜的效果最好。 材料: 1.5-2lb mussels, 5个中等西红柿切块, 1个洋葱切小块。 橄榄油2大勺, 白葡萄酒1大勺(或用cooking wine 代替), 蒜6瓣拍一下不用切很碎, dried oregano 1 teaspoon (有新鲜的意大利香料当然更好了,我有时也从盆里掐一只rosemary), 盐适量, 一杯鸡汤。 做法: 把一直大锅烧热,加橄榄油,下蒜,洋葱用中火炒软洋葱,下西红柿和意大利香料, 大火翻炒1-2分钟, 加mussels,半杯鸡汤,接着用大火翻炒,让mussels都蘸上汤汁,盖盖焖至开锅,加白酒,接着翻炒几下用中火盖盖焖 4分钟, 加盐和胡椒调味接着翻炒匀, 再盖盖焖 3-4分钟。 Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 6 cloves garlic, sliced 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 5 medium sized fresh tomatoes, chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded 1 pinch fresh-ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt, or as needed. 1/2 cup chicken broth Cooking Method: 1.
