Start the festive dinner with juicy roasted mussels, served on sweet parsnip puree, with an accent of spices and toasted pine nuts.

Required products :

450 grams of fresh sea mussels scallops
450 grams of parsnips
2 tea cups fresh milk + extra if needed
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or grape seed)
2 tablespoons butter
a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons pine nuts

Method of preparation :

Peel and slice the parsnip, put it in a saucepan with the milk and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until soft. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and blend until smooth. Add more milk if necessary.

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or grape seed) in a cast iron skillet until it starts to smoke. Carefully pour half of the mussels scallops, being careful not to touch them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on top. Fry for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, until the bottom is deep brown. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, turn the mussels to fry for about 1 minute, season with salt and pepper. Serve on a plate and cook the remaining mussels in the same way.

Roast the pine nuts until golden in the same pan over medium heat with the rest of the oil.

Serve the mussels on the parsnip puree, sprinkle with pine nuts and a pinch of nutmeg. Optionally add fresh herbs.

Enjoy your meal!
