Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Steam the cleaned mussels in a pot with a splash of water for 3-5 minutes, until they open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Uns 5 min
2
Remove the mussels from their shells and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Thread 3-4 mussels onto each small skewer.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Drying the mussels well ensures a crispier batter.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper for the batter.
Uns 2 min
4
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth, thin batter.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: The batter should be thin enough to coat the mussels lightly.
5
Prepare the tarator sauce by blending the stale bread, walnuts, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt, and red pepper flakes in a food processor until smooth.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Adjust the consistency of the tarator sauce with a little more water if needed.
6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 175°C (350°F).
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature for best frying results.
7
Dip each mussel skewer into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess to drip off.
Uns 2 min
8
Carefully place the battered mussel skewers into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Overcrowding the pot will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy mussels.
9
Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Uns 5 min
10
Serve the fried mussels immediately with the tarator sauce and fresh lemon wedges.
