Step 1

Step 2

When it no longer smells of alcohol, turn off the heat, chop and leave to cool. Fill the ice cube tray and freeze.

Step 4

Serve directly, adding some coriander leaves and zesting a little lime over the top.

Notes

This recipe can also be made using clams or cockles.
It is extremely important that the mussels are very fresh and not broken, as the vacuum would break it completely and it could easily perforate the bag.
Vacuum pack the mussels just before cooking and take into account that according to the size of the mussels, the cooking time may vary considerably.
