- 10 fresh mussels
- 2 medium fresh spring onions
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Rinse the mussels under cold running tap water. Clean them using a sharp knife. Remove any hairy strings protruding from the inside or anything barnacle like. Then rinse the cleaned mussels again and let them drain on a clean kitchen towel.

Place them on a baking tray and grill the mussels under a hot grill for 5 minutes until they are open. Then with a sharp knife remove one shell and cut the mussel loose from the remaining shell.
-
Chop up the salted peanuts finely. Slice the spring onions finely. Drizzle the mussels with the melted butter and a drop of fish sauce. Sprinkle with the spring onion and season with a tiny pinch of pepper.
-
Grill the mussels again for another 2 minutes. Then place them on a plate, sprinkle with the chopped salted peanuts and serve hot.
