Grilled Mussel And Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill using the snake method or for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, stack the unlit charcoals around the perimeter of the grill, about halfway, then light the first few at one end so the snake begins to burn slowly. (This results in a controlled 325 to 350 degrees F heat.) If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil in a cross and place the potatoes in the middle. Gather up the sides to create a foil packet, add 2 tablespoons of water and seal the foil packet.
• Place the foil packet over direct heat and steam until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Open the foil packet and continue to cook until the potatoes take on some smoke and dry out, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the peanuts, remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, cilantro, mustard, celery seeds and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the grill, add to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 375 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.)

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Season generously with salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the cooled potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, onion and red bell pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a large bowl.
• Make the dressing by adding the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, parsley, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot sauce and some salt and pepper to a mason jar. Secure the lid and shake until well combined.
• Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss to coat. Fold in the chopped bacon, sprinkle over the scallions and serve.

Grill corn and potatoes, covered, over medium heat until tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Cool slightly. Grill green onions until blackened, 5-6 minutes. Cut into 1-in. pieces and place in a large bowl. Peel off and discard charred skin from poblanos; remove stems and seeds. Cut peppers into 1/2-in. pieces and add to onions. Cut corn from cobs, add corn and potatoes to peppers., In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, mayonnaise and lime juice until blended; stir in cheese, cilantro, zest, salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place the mussels in a large bowl, cover them with cold water, and rub them against one another to scrape off any residue. Transfer them to another bowl of cold water. Repeat the washing and transferring procedure until there is no evidence of grit or debris.
• Place the mussels in a large pot, and add the wine and 1 cup of water. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Toss the mussels lightly in the pan to reposition them, and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes longer, covered, to allow the mussels to open. Remove those that are open and place them in a bowl while you continue to boil the unopened mussels for 1 to 2 minutes longer to give them another chance to open. Discard any mussels that have not opened at this point. Cooking the mussels, from start to finish, should not take more than 12 to 15 minutes.)
• When the mussels are cool enough to handle, remove them from their shells and discard any of the "beard" that is attached to them. (It resembles dry seaweed.) Place the mussels in a bowl large enough to hold the finished dish.
• Meanwhile, wash the potatoes, place in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring the water to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, and boil the potatoes gently, uncovered, until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, and set them aside until they are cool enough to handle.
• Let the mussel stock settle in the pan for a few minutes, and then pour it slowly into a bowl, leaving behind any sediment. There should be about 4 cups. Add enough water to bring the yield to 6 cups, and reserve for use in the mussel and tomato soup.
• Peel the lukewarm potatoes, and cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Add them to the mussels along with the scallions and garlic. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar and oil, and add to the potatoes and mussels. Toss gently to mix.
• Arrange the salad greens on six plates, and spoon the salad onto the greens, dividing it evenly among the plates. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, but do not peel them. Slice thin and spray on one side with pan spray.
• Prepare stove-top grill. Arrange potatoes on grill before heating it, and spray second side of potatoes. Grill the potatoes over medium-high heat until they begin to brown on one side; turn and brown on second side, cooking until they are soft.
• Wash mussels thoroughly and remove beards. Discard any with open shells. Place in pot with the wine; cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until shells open, 3 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the mussels.
