4 people
Preparation
Flatbread
- Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, spices, and sesame seeds.
- Add the salt once the yeast is thoroughly mixed with the flour.
- Add lukewarm water and knead into a smooth dough.
- Let rise until the volume has doubled.
- Shape into a loaf or rolls.
- Bake on an oiled, hot griddle until golden brown.
Mussels on the plancha
- Rinse the mussels and leave them to stand in salt water for a while. Then drain them thoroughly.
- Heat the plancha as hot as possible.
- Place the mussels on top; they will quickly begin to open.
- Add the vinaigrette (vinegar, oil, paprika, garlic, shallot, and bell pepper).
- The heat and shock of the vinaigrette cause the mussels to open completely and absorb the flavors. (Tip: pull the flame from the firebox over the mussels for extra flavor.)
- Serve the mussels on the plancha immediately, together with the flatbread.
