Enjoy these shellfish steamed alla vodka in a creamy tomato sauce or in a spicy-smoky, Thai-style broth
Yes, there’s the “r” rule – that is, the guidance that we’re meant to eat shellfish only during months with an “r”’ in their name – but I’m as much about the “s” rule: that is, seasonal, sustainably sourced shellfish, whatever the month. Typically steamed until their shells open up, mussels are generally on the table in less than 15 minutes. Super-speedy September suppers clocks up another four “s”s to add to that list.
