Fynbos-smoked mussels

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

200 g dried edible fynbos
30 fresh mussels, cleaned

For the chimichurri, blend:

20 g parsley
20 g coriander
20 g origanum
1 chilli
3 spring onions
½ cup local olive oil
3 cloves garlic
fresh sea lettuce (Ulva ridgida) a handful (or use baby spinach)
1 lemon, juiced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Prepare hot coals and spread the dried fynbos in a large cast-iron skillet or paella pan with a lid that fits snugly. Arrange the mussels on top. Position the skillet over the hot coals and add a few glowing coals between the mussels to initiate the smoking process. Cover with the lid and smoke for about 10 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened.

2. Serve the mussels with the chimichurri as a dip or coat the mussels in it as they come off the fire. Serve with ciabatta, or add to a paella.
