    Mussels on the Grill


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    · 4 tablespoons olive oil
    · 4 wedges lemon
    · 4 medium-size ripe tomatoes, halved, seeded and diced
    · 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and rinsed, beards removed
    · 4 scallions, chopped
    · 4 cloves garlic, minced
    · 2 green bell peppers, chopped

    Recipe



    1. Tear off 4 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long. Bunch up the sides slightly, to make rough bowl shapes. On each piece of foil, put 1-tablespoon olive oil, a handful of the chopped vegetables, and a lemon wedge. Pile one-half pound mussels in each foil packet, then pull up the edges and close at the top.

    2. When your coals have ashed over, put the packets of mussels on top of the grill. Grill the mussels for about 12 minutes without opening the packets. Check after 12 minutes - the mussels should have opened. If more than a few haven’t, close and steam 5 minutes more. Discard any mussels that don’t open. Serve right in the foil packets, spooning up the juice and vegetables as you eat the mussels.

    Serves 4
