Mussels alla busara with Malvasia

Mussels alla busara is a classic of the seaside restaurants of this splendid land. The "busara" also called "buzara" is a way of cooking fish and shellfish... it is not known exactly where this term derives from. There are infinite variations of this dish that are very common in Friuli and Veneto.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of mussels;
  • Parsley;
  • Breadcrumbs;
  • Garlic.

Preparation

First, clean all the mussels from the beards and wash them well under running water to remove any sand. Clean all the mussels, put them in a saucepan large enough to contain them all, cover and put them on the stove over very low heat for a few minutes until all the shells are open. Remove all the mussels from the pot and filter the liquid from any residual sand.

In a large pan, sauté a couple of cloves of garlic in Evo oil, add a part of the mussels (with all the shells) and then add the cooking liquid, put a handful of breadcrumbs and the parsley. If you prefer, you can also squeeze a little lemon juice over it.

Finally, remember that from this variant, by adding a spoonful of tomato paste, you get an excellent sauce for spaghetti.

To complete the recipe, match the dish with our Malvasia.
