  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    I learned this recipe from my son-in-law - he just loves seafood, and especially to get them from the sea. He told me how to properly fry mussels with onions. First we need to prepare all the necessary products that we will need to prepare this dish.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    First, wash the mussels thoroughly in cold water. Squeeze out excess moisture from them.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Peel and chop the onion.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Preheat the frying pan and grease it with butter. We put the mussels in a frying pan, pour in the sifted flour and mix. Next, pour them with broth mixed with wine, let them give the remaining water and cook in it a little.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    And when the water evaporates, we add more oil, and fry our mussels on it for a while. Then we will attach the prepared onion to them and mix everything.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Simmer, stirring all the time, until the onion turns golden. And when it is ready, and the dish is ready. When serving, decorate it with greens. Mussel fillet itself has a salty fishy taste, but when fried, it acquires well-marked mushroom notes. Try it!

I have improved this dish a little. I add boiled eggs and fresh tomatoes there. Having cut them into small cubes there, I pour it all with mayonnaise, and cover it with grated cheese on top - and under the lid. Yummy, mmm! Well, also add salt and pepper, decorate with herbs! Now a little bit about the mussels themselves. Mussel meat is a seafood adored by gourmets from all over the world. It carries a certain benefit, which you can't argue about. So what are the benefits of mussels, which, for a moment, surpass even fish and white meat in protein content? The main value of mussels is the content of omega—3 fatty acids in them, which nourish brain cells. They are also rich in vitamins A, B, C, E and PP, indispensable for a balanced diet. In addition, mussels contain phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium. Mussels are an excellent product for dietary nutrition, especially in combination with vegetables.
