MAGICAL Mussels
Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and the chopped thyme and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in 150ml of the beer and bring up to a boil. Add the Mussels, cover with a lid, and steam for 3-5 minutes until warmed through (don’t worry they are pre-cooked). Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels from the pot, reserving the onion mixture in the pot.
MUSTARD-BEER SAUCE
Return the pot, without the lid, with the Onion mixture to a low heat. Add the mustard and a large knob of butter (optional). Mix until the mustard is fully combined. Leave to gently simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Season to taste.
TOAST & TOSS
Butter the cut-sides of the baguette rounds or drizzle with oil. Place a pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the baguette rounds, cut-side down, and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. In a bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the Peas, the quartered baby tomatoes, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
DIG IN!
