Spicy Mussels “Rockefeller”
In 1899, shortages of imported escargot hit New Orleans’s Antoine’s Restaurant, prompting chef Jules Alciatore to invent Oysters Rockefeller in place of the French dish. Our recipe uses Spicy Mussels.
About This Recipe
Makes: 1 – 2 servings
Skill Level: Easy
This spicy twist on Oysters Rockefeller uses our Patagonia Provisions Spicy Mussels tin. It takes 15 minutes to make and pairs well with our Patagonia Provisions Organic Sourdough Sea Salt Crackers. Warming, savory and rich, Spicy Mussels Rockefeller can be a snack, a light meal or an offering for a potluck party. We recommend baking it and serving it from a small oven-safe bowl or dish or use a muffin tin for multiple servings.
