'Rather than pigs in a blanket, chicken wings, or spinach dip, baked mussels were the go-to dish in my household for any kind of potluck or gathering.'
Jump to RecipeRather than pigs in a blanket, chicken wings, or spinach dip, baked mussels were the go-to dish in my household for any kind of potluck or gathering. Specifically, mussels topped with a creamy, umami-rich, masago-flecked mixture and baked to savory perfection: my mom’s version of “dynamite mussels,” a popular Japanese-inspired baked appetizer.
Look for blanched, frozen New Zealand green-shell mussels on the half shell and vibrantly hued masago at your local Asian grocery store. Plan ahead and thaw the mussels at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the fridge—they tend to bake up watery if used straight from frozen. Fresh mussels aren’t ideal here, as you’d have to steam them in advance to get them open .
The topping is a simple-but-punchy combination of mayo , fish roe, sriracha, and scallions, which makes for a knockout condiment with balance, depth, and just the right amount of saltiness. After the mixture is spooned on top, the mussels are baked until tender, with a sunset-orange hue. Intensely flavorful and fun to eat, these baked mussels are everything I want in a bite-size appetizer. As my mom puts it, “You can’t go wrong with the recipe.

Sage-Infused Classic Margarita Recipe on Food52The margarita has always been my go-to summer drink, but this year I'm making it my fall drink, too, with five autumnal takes on the classic cocktail. A classic margarita will never steer you wrong. But to make my go-to summer cocktail fit in with fall, I adapted this traditional recipe by Erika Kotite and brought one of the season's most popular herbs, sage, into the mix. The easiest way to incorporate sage is to infuse it with the tequila; all you need is a day or two to steep the tequila with the herbs. I tried infusing it with both silver and reposado tequila, and preferred the reposado. The final product has an earthy, almost savory aroma that elevates this drink way above your average margarita. This recipe is featured in the article, 5 Margarita Recipes Perfect for Fall, sponsored by Agave In The Raw.
