Angry Mussels with Smoked Bacon
Ingredients
2 pounds mussels
¼ of a red onion (chopped) [1 or 2 slices]
3 oz. good smoked bacon (diced)
3 cloves fresh garlic (chopped)
1 or 2 poblano peppers (sliced)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 stick of butter [cut into 4 or 5 pieces]
1 T. chopped parsley
Using a large skillet, render bacon until it begins to crisp (medium-high heat). Add the garlic, onion and poblano. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, and add the cleaned mussels. Stir occasionally, until they start to open. Lower heat and deglaze with the wine, and cook until the wine is almost dry, keeping mussels covered. Add the butter, and keep stirring until the butter is completely melted and take off of the heat. Season with kosher salt, and finish with freshly cut parsley. Serve with crusty garlic bread for dipping!!
Thanks. It does sound delish....except I'm going to have to leave the bacon out of it for DH.
