Fried mussels in a frying pan with onions

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry mussels in a frying pan with onions? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Mussels can be used either frozen or fresh. Instead of lemon, it is permissible to take lime. I used a package of frozen seafood for the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, remove the mussels from the freezer and leave them at room temperature until completely thawed. To defrost faster, mussels can be placed in a colander and held under running cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion. Cut in half and rinse under running water. Cut the onion into thin half rings or quarter rings.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat a small amount of olive or refined vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring until lightly golden brown. Make the flame slightly above medium.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place defrosted mussels into the pan. Mix everything thoroughly using a wooden spatula. Continue cooking over medium heat until liquid appears. Next, turn down the heat slightly and simmer the mussels and onions for about five to seven minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the mussels begin to brown, add salt to taste and pepper with ground pepper. Mix everything carefully and remove the pan from the heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mussels with onions in a frying pan are ready. When serving, sprinkle the dish with finely chopped herbs. Young green onions or dill are perfect. This time I have chives. Top with freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Very tasty when served hot.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can also offer mussels with onions as a cold appetizer with a glass of white wine.

We haven’t had mussels for a long time, but now we decided to treat ourselves. I looked at fried mussels in a frying pan with onions here, just in case. I had a decent amount of water from the mussels, some was glass, some had boiled away. It's a pity there was no parsley, it goes great. Well, potatoes, how could we live without them! Thanks a lot! This is the only way I will cook from now on.
