Mydia [0000924]

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) mussels, cleaned and debearded
1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (made from gluten-free bread)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Gluten-free hot sauce or aioli (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, finely chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Rinse the cleaned mussels and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Add the mussels to the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until they start to open.

Remove the mussels from the skillet and carefully separate the empty half-shell from each mussel, leaving the mussel attached to the other half-shell.

Place the mussel-filled half-shells on a baking sheet.

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto each mussel.

Bake the Mydia in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the mussels are cooked through.

Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.

Serve your gluten-free Mydia hot, optionally with gluten-free hot sauce or aioli for dipping.
