Easy
4 people
15 minutes
ingredients
- 2 kg Zeeland mussels from Prins & Dingemanse
- A few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 200 grams of spaghetti
- 50 milliliters of dry white wine
- 4 anchovy fillets, from a can
- Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried red chili pepper
- Black pepper
instructions
Rinse the mussels in water and discard any that remain open if they do not close when tapped. Drain well. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the spaghetti. Start with the mussels about five minutes before the spaghetti is ready. Heat a wok until it is very hot. Pour in a generous splash of olive oil and fry the garlic and dried red chili pepper until the garlic is lightly colored. Add the anchovies. They will melt from the heat. Now add the mussels, black pepper, and white wine to the pan. Salt is not needed due to the anchovies. Cover the pan and let it stand on high heat for a few minutes. The shells will now open. Shake the pan occasionally. Drain the spaghetti and save a little cooking water. Add both to the pan with the mussels. Mix well and drizzle with some olive oil.

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.
