Loch Fyne mussels and nduja sausage in a green crock pot with focaccia and white wine

James Strawbridge's Mussels with ‘Nduja

This odd pair is a match made in heaven. The heat and richness of the 'nduja contrasts with the saltiness of the Loch Fyne mussels, all brought together with a dash of British double cream. 

Serves 2 

Ingredients: 

Method: 

  1. Heat a large pot or lidded casserole dish (that will take all the mussels) over a medium heat.  
  2. Sauté the diced shallot in the butter for 3-4 mins until soft and translucent. Turn down the heat to low, add the 'nduja and cook for another 3-4 mins until it has gently released its oil. Be careful not to burn it!  
  3. Next, add the mussels, turn the heat back up and cook on a high heat for 2-3 mins with the lid on. Add the white wine, and after a further 3-4 mins when all of the mussels are open, pour in the double cream. Take off the heat.  
  4. Warm the cream through to make a silky sauce and finish with plenty of chopped parsley. Serve your spicy mussels with warm focaccia and chilled white wine.
