How To Clean Mussels
Instructions
The mussels are a good and quick meal to prepare, but you need to clean them well beforehand: Sonia will show you how to do, on the cooking tutorial by YellowSaffron.
The mussels are a good and quick meal to prepare: to avoid bad surprises, you need to clean them well befrehand.
Let's see how to do.
When buying the mussels, make sure the shells are undamaged, tightly closed and don't stink.
Pull off the beard that comes out of the shell; if it doesn't come loose, use a knife.
Using a scouring pad or a stiff brush, scrub the mussels vigorously one by one, perhaps under running water.
With the blade of a knife, scrape off any barnacles attached to the shell.
Once cleaned, wash the mussels under running water.
Now the mussels are ready to be cooked; to open the mussels, put them in a pot and cover with a lid. Once opened, they're ready to be cooked as you like!
