“my dearest edwina, i have come into possession of four large whelks”
PEI Mussels in a smoked paprika and fennel tomato sauce
Made by Scout Canning
the small mussels in this tiny tin are perfectly fine, but the delicious sauce is the star of the show. it's gently spicy and richly flavored---the fennel plays backup to the smokey, brothy tomato sauce
saltines were a strategic error, given the sauce-with-mussels vibe here---next time, i'll gently warm the tin and pour it over buttered toast... or sizzle the liquid in some olive oil a pan, adding some cooked ditalini or linguine and the mussels at the end
