Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Quick and elegant starter

Sprinkle a thick layer of salt on the baking sheet. Place the green-shell mussels on the bed of salt. The bed of salt ensures that the mussels don’t tip over and that the delicious juices stay in the mussel half. Mix the wild garlic pesto with a little broth and olive oil to form a paste and spread this over the mussels. Use about a level teaspoon for each mussel half. Then sprinkle the mussels with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If you don’t like breadcrumbs, you can use breadcrumbs or omit them altogether. Bake the mussels in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 5 minutes. Serve the mussels hot with white bread and a green salad or green asparagus.
