How To Savor The Flavor Of The Canned Mussels At Trader Joe's
BY AUSTIN HAVENS-BOWEN
Trader Joe’s sells a variety of tinned mussels that are delicious and versatile. They are lightly smoked and packed in extra virgin olive oil and can be enjoyed in many ways.
On Toast
Elevated toast is the easiest way to incorporate mussels. Add chili crisp oil and hot sauce, pair them with garlic, or spread cream cheese with herbs and lemon juice.
Seafood Pasta
For an effortless meal, boil linguine or spaghetti until al dente, then toss with the smoked mussels, garlic, tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
Seafood Salad
Canned mussels work in creamy or traditional salads. Creamy salads use mayo or Greek yogurt, while traditional salads utilize olive oil from the can.
Clam Chowder
This rich and savory soup can be enhanced with mussels. Since they are pre-cooked, it’s best to add them towards the end of the cooking process.
