Step cooking
- We put the pan on the stove so that it is heated. While the pan is heating, prepare the onions. We clear one head of onion from the husk, wash it under running water, very finely cut into cubes on a cutting board.
- We peel one clove of garlic, peel, chop finely with a knife or pass it through a press.
- In a preheated pan, pour 20-25 ml of olive oil and send chopped onions and garlic there, simmer the ingredients until soft. We make sure that the onion does not burn, as this will radically affect the taste of the salad.
- Fry the onion with garlic for just one minute, and then add 100 grams of mussels to the pan, which are previously thawed and washed.
- Now add 40 ml of dry white wine, simmer for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
- While the mussels are stewed, we will not waste time preparing a salad dressing. Pour 15-20 ml of olive oil, a teaspoon of soy sauce, 30 ml of lime juice, which can be replaced with lemon juice, in a small container, but in this case the taste of the salad will change.
- Under the tap, wash 5 grams of basil, finely chop it on a cutting board with a knife and add directly to the sauce.
- The wine has already evaporated in the pan: we put the pan to the side so that the mussels cool and pick up the aroma of the ingredients with which they were stewed.
- We start preparing vegetables for the salad. Wash one bell pepper, peel the stalk and seeds inside, cut into thin plates of small length. We use only half the pepper, about 60 grams.
- In a deep salad bowl we place a pre-washed mix of salads in the amount of 50 grams. Now we add Bulgarian pepper, chopped into thin strips.
- I wash one small tomato under running water, remove the stalk, cut into large segments along and add to the vegetables in the salad bowl. For convenience, you can use cherry tomatoes here.
- Dress the vegetables with the prepared sauce, mix. We do this with our hands, while it is very important not to crush the ingredients, to do this easily and quickly so as not to disrupt the structure of the greenery, leaving it lush and fresh.
- We proceed to the design of the salad. On a large flat salad bowl, lay out the salad diagonally, do it with your hands.
- On top of the salad, spread the mussel meat from the pan partly with the onion. But you do not need to use a lot of onions, it can dominate the taste of the dish.
- Peel the boiled quail eggs from the shell, cut them in half. We lay the halves of eggs on top of the salad, decorating it. We will need 5 quail eggs. If you do not have quail eggs, use chicken, but cut them into small lobes.
- Sprinkle the mussel salad on top with about one teaspoon of sesame seeds and in a restaurant, a little olive dust, which may not be at home. Mussel salad is ready.It is very useful, tasty, can perfectly decorate your holiday table, it is the best suited for proper nutrition, weight loss.
