Karlos Arguiñano has shared a simple technique to improve the flavor and texture of canned mussels. Instead of using them directly from the can, he recommends draining them, reserving the liquid, and briefly sautéing them with garlic, parsley, and extra virgin olive oil. This step enhances their aroma and juiciness, achieving a more flavorful result.
Arguiñano emphasizes the importance of choosing quality canned goods and highlights the nutritional value of mussels, which are rich in protein, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, he argues that, with proper preparation, canned products can reach a high culinary level.
