These mussels are carefully packed in a vibrant escabeche sauce that brings together olive oil, vinegar and paprika in the traditional Iberian style. The result is a pleasing balance of richness and acidity that enhances the natural sweetness of the mussels. Enjoy them straight from the tin with bread, add them to a seafood platter, or scatter them over a simple salad for an extra burst of flavour.
Serving suggestions
These mussels are ideal for easy aperitif-style eating. Serve them straight from the tin with crusty bread, roasted capsicum, olives and a few slices of Manchego or other firm cheese.
The tangy escabeche also makes them excellent tossed through a simple green salad or spooned over boiled potatoes.
 
A lightly chilled Spanish Godello pairs beautifully with the savoury richness of the mussels, while an Australian Semillon — especially the bright, citrus-driven styles from the Hunter Valley — offers a clean, refreshing contrast.
