Mussels with Chef Greg | REC TEC Grills

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier with good fats.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Dried parsley is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

Set the Matador grill over medium heat.

Heat a little bit of olive oil in the grill.

Select about 5 pounds of fresh mussels, ensuring they close when squeezed to confirm they are live.

Season the mussels with fresh basil and thinly shaved fennel.

Add a little bit of deli onion and some Greek rub to the fennel and onion mixture, allowing it to lightly caramelize.

Crack a couple of garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.

Add the mussels to the grill and cook for a few minutes.

After about 8 minutes of cooking, add butter and white wine to the mussels.

Finish off with fresh basil and serve with crusty bread.
