INGREDIENTS
- 1 Kg St Austell Bay Mussels
- 100 g Plain Flour
- 2 large eggs St Ewe Rich Yolk eggs work really well for this
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 1 tbsp Cornish Sea Salt
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 2 large Pickled eggs
- 1 small pot of Worcester sauce for dipping
- 1 tbsp Fresh ground black pepper
First steam the Mussels in a large pan for 4 mins in slightly salted water with the lid on
Drain the mussels and once cooled remove the meat from the shells and place in a bowl
Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper on the mussel meat. Mix well
Make the batter by combining 3/4 cup flour, cornstarch, eggs, water, garlic powder, and remaining salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until the texture becomes smooth.
Heat the oil in a deep cooking pot.
Dip the mussel meat in the batter and then dredge in the remaining flour. This will prevent the mussel meat from sticking to each other.
Deep fry the coated mussel meat in medium heat until the color of the coating turns golden brown.
Serve with Crusty Bread, Pikled Eggs and worcester sauce. Share and Enjoy!
