instructions
This is how you make the aioli:
Put the egg yolk in a bowl. Whisk with a whisk and mix with the grated garlic. While continuously whisking, add the oil drop by drop to the egg yolk mixture. When about half of the oil has been added, add the lemon juice. Mix well. Now pour in the rest of the oil in a steady stream and whisk until it becomes a nice thick and creamy aioli. Taste the aioli and add some pepper, salt, or lemon juice if needed.
This is how you make the salad:
Mix the cooked mussels with the aioli. Add the radish and most of the green apple. Place a few little gem leaves on a plate and scoop the mussels on top. Garnish with the rest of the green apple and garden cress.

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.
