Grilled Lemon + Prosecco Mussels
Directions
Heat a grill pan or grill over medium high. Using 1 tbsp of oil brush both sides of lemon slices. Grill for 1 – 2 minutes per side or until grill marks are formed. Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in a large pot over medium heat, once hot, add shallots and garlic, cook until translucent, 3 – 4 minutes. Deglaze with prosecco and add grilled lemons, reserving 4 - 6 slices for garnish. Let simmer for 10 minutes, until wine is slightly reduced. Add mussels and cover with a lid. Steam mussels over medium heat until they are all opened 8 – 10 minutes. Discard any shells that do not open.
Garnish with fresh thyme and grilled lemon slices. Serve with toasted artisan bread.
