The mussels in salpicón could never be missing in my house for the Christmas Eve dinner. It was a classic while my grandfather Esteban lived. In the morning, I was already starting to prepare steamed his mussels and since at that time we did not have Thermomix, he began to make "the picadillo" as he said, which I think he took the poor man almost all day chopping by hand with his board and his knife. She would put her green pepper, her red pepper, her chives and a ripe tomato, all seasoned with her oil and vinegar.
This year I prepared it, thinking all the time "if my grandfather will lift his head" ... I would not believe that in almost 5 minutes I already had it ready. What a pleasure it is to prepare a salpicón with all its ingredients in such a short time.
What I like least about this recipe is clean the mussels. This time I missed my father-in-law who on some other occasion had volunteered to do it for me. I cleaned a kilo and a half of mussels and I must be a little slow with this because my half hour was entertaining. Then I put them in the varoma to cook them and in twenty minutes I had all of them open. So now I was starting with the splash and this was great with the help of my favorite robot.
It is a very colorful dish because of its color and as a starter I see it appropriate for when we have guests. There is no Christmas that we do not prepare one or two sources. East salmagundi It is ideal to accompany steamed mussels, seafood spatter, cooked octopus, steamed potatoes, etc.

Adapt this recipe to your Thermomix model
Mmmm, how rich !!!!!
And it doesn't have chopped tomato….?
I wish you a very happy new year ...
Hello Elena, we make them as the recipe says and they are delicious, but I think it is a very good option to add a little chopped tomato. Next time I do, I'll kick it out. Greetings and Happy 2011!
Hello Elena, could you provide me with the recipe for trige mussels that are like stuffed and battered with bread and egg, they told me about it but I could not look for the recipes, thank you very much
I have found this recipe to see if it works for you. I have not tried it.

Elena, my grandfather always chopped a tomato and they were delicious. I did not put it in the recipe and the truth is that it happened to me, but next time I remember fixed and see what it is. Happy New Year
Hello
I open the mussels in a normal pot, add them to the pot as you clean them, always drag some water and close the lid, at maximum temperature in 5 minutes or less they are already there.
It is convenient to shake the pot a little to encourage them to open ...
Another note: I am very lazy to clean mussels, so what I do is clean those pieces that are cleaner and easier to clean, but those mussels that are full of limestone incrustations, etc. I wash them under water and leave them as they are. , then when they open, I remove them from their shell and change them to a cleaner one.
Hello Cristina, thank you very much for giving us another way to cook the mussels. It happens to me like you, I do them very rarely and it is because of my laziness that I clean them. Greetings and Happy 2011!
I added 200g of tomato, it was finger licking good and I don't like vinegar, I added a little less vinegar and as there was left over we put it on bread and we all sucked our fingers.
Hello Cristina, I will also add tomato the next time I make them, although it will surely take time because I do not like cleaning them. All the best.
Prepare the mussels for New Year's Eve, they were delicious, thank you very much
I'm glad you liked them, Inma. Greetings and Happy 2011!
Hello, my husband made the mussels for the end of the year and although he says that he would not go overboard with the salt because they were a bit salty, another thing, wouldn't it be better if the minced meat was made and the oil and vinegar were added of the thermomix ?.
All the best
Hello Concha, it is a good option. I also made them and we loved them, but we have to adapt the recipes to our tastes. If you do them as you say, tell us how about to try them. All the best.
I prepared the recipe just as you put it, very rich, they were delicious. Thanks
I'm glad Elena. All the best.
Hello, it is the first time that I dare to congratulate you, the truth is that your recipes are "milk" if you allow me to tell you, they entertain me a lot, it's funny, because I have a vice with them that Every Sunday I prepare a coffee and at the table in the living room I take it reading your news, and looking at the photos, which by the way are great, I mean the photos of the recipes, my mouth is watering, it is I don't know what to choose to do on Sunday.
Well nothing congratulations, do not stop posting because I have already made a lot of your recipes, thank you very much. All the best.
And by the way I forgot you don't have any recipe for wings out there but in the varoma, with some chuli sauce inside the glass ??????
Ana, thank you very much for your comment and for following us. I will look at the wings, but it occurs to me that you can prepare them and make some of the sauces that we have published below, they are all cool.
All the best
