Fried mussels are perfect to serve as a still-steaming appetizer, but they are also delicious at room temperature and can be used to set up a buffet. Rich and tasty, fried mussels are a recipe from Puglia prepared by opening the mussels and filling them with a stuffing based on bread, parsley, and Parmesan: once fried, they release all their splendid flavor!

- Clean the mussels: remove the beard and scrub the shell. Open the mussels with a knife while keeping the shells together, collecting the liquid inside.
- Prepare the stuffing: crumble the bread coarsely into the mussel water. Add grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Mix, adjusting consistency with more breadcrumbs until the mixture is dry and compact.
- Stuff the mussels: place the mussels on a tray, fill each with a teaspoon of stuffing and press lightly to close.
- Fry: heat oil to 170°C. Fry a few mussels at a time, being careful of splashes. Alternatively, bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes.
- Serve steaming hot.
