ingredients
- 2 kilograms Prins & Dingemanse mussels
- Olive oil
- 150 grams feta, crumbled
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 100 milliliters ouzo
- Salt
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pepper
instructions
Rinse the mussels in plenty of cold water. Discard any broken mussels or open mussels that remain open even after a tap on the shell. Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large pan. Fry the garlic for 1 minute, ensuring it does not turn brown, then add the mussels along with the ouzo. Bring to a boil and place the lid on the pan. Let the mussels cook on high heat for a few minutes until all the shells are open. Shake the pan once in between so that the mussels at the bottom also open. Meanwhile, heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the bell pepper for a few minutes and add the diced tomatoes. Add some cooking liquid from the mussels, pepper - optionally a little salt, but this is not necessarily needed - and oregano. Let it stand on high heat for about 5 minutes. Stir regularly. Add the feta to the pan. Once it mixes with the sauce, pour the sauce over the mussels. Mix well together. Serve with baguette and some extra feta.

Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
