Wanted something different tonight and I had a seafood craving.. Was at Whole Foods and saw the Mussels and thought that sounded good...Was just going to do them in a broth but while they where on the smoker I decided to do it over Pasta.. Sorry for that lack of pics, I was solo with the 3 year and 12 week old...

The Ingredients...I forgot to show the red pepper flakes that I also added...

Diced up the green onion, 5 cloves of garlic, a roma tomato, 1 shallot and some fresh tarragon...Sauteed in some butter and then added some white wine, maybe about 1/4 bottle....I did that on the stove for the high heat and then put the sauce on the MAK for about an hr on smoke...

Brought it back inside and on the high heat I added the Mussels and covered for about 3min...Uncovered and added some heavy cream and back on the smoker thickin up a bit for about 30min on smoke setting....If I wasnt alone with the kids I would have tried doing all this over the flame zone...

Came out really good and could taste the smoke flavor...Im going to try this again but do it all in the MAK griddle....

When my wife sees this, I will be making it for dinner, soon. Looks really tasty! Nice job. Let's see, 1/4 bottle of white wine for the sauce, and 3/4 bottle for the cook. Sounds about right. Which white wine did you use?

Thanks for the comments. This could be a top 5 for me. There are so many ways to do mussels, can't wait to try another.
