Even though mussels are generally available all year round, it’s nice to have a dish to cook outside on the barbecue to make the most of the last of the summer warmth. This is a simple and tasty way to cook these guys, or other shellfish, such as clams or pipis. Recipe by David Lovett.

2kg mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely sliced, plus 1/2 cup pale inner celery leaves
1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil

Method

1.

Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped sharply.
2.

Combine parsley, garlic, celery stalk and leaves, and oil in a bowl.
3.

Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat. Add mussels and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they begin to open, transferring to parsley mixture as they open.
4.

Toss to combine, divide among bowls, and serve immediately.
