Mussel Pilaf Recipe
This mussel pilaf recipe is one of my favourite West Coast recipes. One of the best activities we share as a family is picking mussels off the rocks during our long strolls on the beach. The kids love it and always comment on the size of the mussels growing in the area.
Pilaf or pilau is a rice dish whose recipe usually involves cooking in stock or broth, adding spices, and other ingredients such as vegetables or seafood. It is not the same as paella, because in the mussel pilaf recipe there is only one seafood ingredient, mussels. Mussel pilaf is what we call a one-dish winner, you only need one frying pan and a few ingredients.
If pilaf or pilau is not your thing then you can always have a look at our very popular mussels in white whine sauce, and mussels in garlic sauce recipes
There is so much you can do with mussels. If you have a good mussel recipe, please share your recipe on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.
