Delicious Mussel Fritters

Mussels are one of the easiest things to cook. If the shells are slightly open, give a gentle squeeze and they should close, this is a sign that they are a life, and a great one to eat. Scrub the mussels well to remove any gravel or shell and pull off the bears. Don't overcook them, as they tend to become tough. Delicious!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cold water
• 1 tspn pesto
• 1 cup packet scone mix
• 1 tspn hot chilli sauce
• 1/2 tspn salt
• 11/2 cups cooked mussels (about 1 kg in the shell)

3. Then fry spoonfuls of the batter in hot oil. Drain well on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges on the side. 
4. Enjoy!
