Ingredients
12 New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels (1/2 shell)
250gms Macadamia nuts (crumbled and toasted)*
10gms Pacific Harvest Lemon kelp seasoning
1 Orange zest (fine) from a single orange
6 Chives spears (finely cut)
150gms Butter (softened)
Directions
- Combine macadamia nuts, Lemon kelp seasoning, orange zest and chives in a bowl and mix well. Add butter and mix to combine. Loosen the mussel meat from the shell for ease of service.
- Top the mussel with the crust, evenly covering the mussel meat.
- Roast the crusted mussels under a hot grill (or bake in a hot oven) until the crust is toasted (careful not to burn!) and the mussel is hot (1-2 minutes).
- Serve hot on a plate or platter.
Notes
- *other nuts with light flavour would work too – otherwise Panko crumbs can be used.
