This is how I did my mussels tonight. I used Prince Edward Island mussels, a little light on meat, but not on flavor. If you use larger mussels (i.e. green tips) allow a little more cooking time. [p]Roasted 1 full garlic bulb cut in half. I will use one half in the mussel pot, and the other half for the pasta. Dome temp 350* for 15 minutes
m1.jpg[p]To the mussels in the pot I added:
2 lbs of mussels
1 teaspoon of raw sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 bulb of roasted garlic (pressed)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups beer (I used Amberbock...any dark should do)
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 stick of butter (cubed)
m2.jpg[p]On the egg, 3 minutes at 400* then stirred, then 12 more minutes at 400*
m3.jpg[p]Off the egg, I pulled out the shells that were not open
m4.jpg[p]Served over linguine and two chopped green onions

    Steve-B, I think I will try this but use littleneck clams instead of mussels. Have u tried this with clams?[p]Paul

    Porky Paul,
    No, but clams is what the wife said might be better. I think I am on the the right path though. I think oysters might be too much. I had no problem getting the mussels to pop open with boiling instead of steaming. So I think Clams should work fine.

    Steve-B,
    You didn't say how they came out but they look fabulous. You have tripped my imagination. Gotta try something similar with clams.

    Steve-B, The reason I am asking is because I comercially grow farm raised clams here in Florida. We have considered putting together a "Clam Cook Book" and I am interesed in Clam recipes.[p]Paul

    porky paul,
    I think I will try it with clams. It really is an easy recipe. You could do it on any type of grill or even the stovetop. I didn't say this in the first post, but I added a hand full of Jack Daniels Oak chips to the fire. I added a great light smoke taste. I guess I need to get some clams. I think littlenecks would be great. Email if you want and I can send you all the details (just remove the nospam. from the email address)[p]Steve-B
