If you want a recipe for those nights in which you invite someone to dinner at your house or a starter dish that does not have much to eat but that surprises both for its rich flavor and for its color from his plate, this you should write down: Mussels in their shell with minced vegetables.
Mussels are usually on sale at the last minute in medium-sized supermarkets so they are quite cheap and not as expensive as sometimes thought and the other ingredients, almost all of us have them at home. Then I leave you with this recipe that I am convinced will delight all "sailors", both freshwater and saltwater.

Ingredients
- 750 grams of mussels
- 1 fresh onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1 Tomate
- 1 cucumber
- Olive oil
- Sal Island
- Vinegar
Preparation
- The first and most difficult thing in this recipe is clean up good on the outside the shells of the mussels, although it will be enough to scrape them well with a knife. When they are clean we will put them in a pan with nothing and we will wait for them to open.
- Meanwhile, let's go cleaning, peeling and chopping all the vegetables: onion, pepper, tomato and cucumber. If you want, you can add a little coriander to these, it will also be very good and will give it that special touch of flavor.
- When the mussels have been opened and steamed, we empty them and cut them into small pieces. In a small bowl we will add all the ingredients, including the mussels in pieces and we will dress with olive oil, salt and vinegar.
- Finally, to make the presentation more beautiful, we will use the shells of the mussels to add the minced mixture.
- And ready! It can be eaten both at room temperature and fresh, fresh from the refrigerator.
