I will be making these in Ocala. I went to the wine store yesterday morning for some help with the wine selection & there just happened to be a tasting. Nothing like some wine on Sat. morning! :laugh: I have a turkey breast( applewood )smoking on the small. No pics uncooked poultry is not pretty :blink:

    I always steam mussels. What's the process on the Egg. Looks like indirect, indabasket, then indabelly. What temp and for how long. Thanks, FG.

    I do them in a wok (no holes) direct, sitting on the coals, just until they open

    Mussels, mussels, moules, everywhere. Just finished watching the Bobby Flay moules and frites throwdown. I'm going to have to try the bacon, shallot, blue cheese, white wine broth they made.

    Is that the Zolo Torrontes? Great wine, for the price. Torrontes is a grape that could take off.

    Susan, where in the world are you again?

  • I love mussels but usualy steam them. I tried them on the Egg once and was disappointed

    I figured I'd never do them again. They were relatively dried out and lacked the rich flavor I get from a quick steam (3 minutes-Done!)

    But yours look GOOD! Howd yoo do it?

    You did them in the wok- was it high heat like you do for stir fry? What else did you have in the wok (wine)?

    Inquiring minds want to know!
