So this is a follow up to Monday’s post about getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day. I finally settled for cockles & mussels steamed in a cider and bacon broth and it was delicious. I’m a sucker for mussels anyway but tasting them cooked with cider and bacon provided an entirely new dimension.
I accompanied them with colcannon (mashed potatoes and cabbage) and soda bread purchased from my local Whole Foods after a spirited and delightful conversation with Ethan, their onsite chef.
All in all, a great meal.
