If you're talking mussels or Vegemite I love them both but I would not want mussels on bread in the morning and wouldn't be too keen on Vegemite mixed up with my prawns on the barbie.

Normally I like Marmite so i'll vote for it , but this pregnancy has got me all weird with foods I usually like (and i'm getting fed up with it !!!!)

Streaks

MARMITE

ianandmel

mussels all the way! you fancy sharing your chilli mussels recipe with me? please?

JenniGee

Must admit I love them both so it's really tough to choose one....

I went for mussels in the end though - just because of the wonderful chewiness of them, really brings out the flavour

Mussels, chilli..garlic..onion (my own recipe)...love it all

Well thanks to all you voters, my mrs is now jumping around the kitchen saying ha ha ha to me cos the axle grease won the vote, oh well it may be more popular but i will never like the spread of satan

My mussels recipe by the way is as follows

2Kg Mussels/clean and de-beard the mussels and keep them cool until ready to cook.

Fine chop one large white onion
3 cloves of garlic crushed/fine chopped
good bunch of basil chopped/or torn
about 1 tbsp+ of capers fine chopped
6 big tomatoes, skinned, de-seeded and fine chopped
2 chillis de-seeded and chopped (you can leave some seeds in if you like it hotter)
about half a bottle of white wine (your choice which one)
Salt and Pepper
Butter
Olive oil


put a good glug (jamie oliver stylee) olive oil and a good knob of butter in a deep pan on a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sweat them off until the onions are translucent, not browned, this will make the garlic bitter. Add the capers, chillis and toms and cook until the toms are just starting to break down, add the Basil and the white wine and get this bubbling nice and fast, when its got a good bubble on, add the mussels and cover with a lid and leave for five mins, dont open before then. after five mins take a look and if the mussels have all opened, then toss them around in the sauce and serve with nice chunks of crusty bread, yum yum. Oh and plenty of good wine of course!

This is not an exact science, you can adapt this any way you like, i.e. more heat or different herbs etc.

Enjoy,

Nev
