Pickled-Mussel Toast with Vegan Balearic Sausage
The pickled mussels from Palacio de Oriente finish off this toast, which stands out thanks to the vegan Balearic sausage that serves as a base. Experience new flavor mixtures with a meatless Balearic sausage and the delicacy of ‘Mejillón de Galicia’ DOP.
Elaboration
To make the toast you should cut the slice of bread to your preference. Choose a type of bread that will hold firm when all the ingredients are added on top of the toast. Two excellent options are rustic or ciabatta bread.
Butter the bread slices on one side and toast them on the griddle to make them crispy. Reserve the toast until the final preparation of the appetizer.
Now it is time to prepare the vegan Balearic sausage that will be the base of our toast. To do this, you must grind all the ingredients with the help of a food processor or blender. Start by chopping the pine nuts and garlic.
Then add the sundried or dried tomatoes, basil, cumin and EVOO. You can gradually blend the mixture and try different speeds and strengths until you get a paste with a texture similar to basil sausage.
Now add the paprika; this will be the ingredient that will confer it that characteristic flavor reminiscent of Balearic sausage.
Sample the finished mixture and season to taste.
Finally, boost this veggie Balearic sausage even more by adding four tablespoons of the spiced oil that comes in the sun-dried tomato preserves.
Whisk all the ingredients again and check the density of this unique Balearic sausage. Rectify with a little water to achieve a more or less unctuous combination that suits your preferences.
Remember that the covering liquids of Palacio de Oriente’s preserves provide an extra flavor to your recipes. Elevate the taste of this vegan Balearic sausage with the marinade from the mussel cans.
Once the Balearic sausage has reached the desired density, it is time to spread it on the crunchy toast that you have reserved.
To finish this succulent appetizer, simply place the pickled mussels on top of the Balearic sausage. Depending on the size of the slices you can place three or four pickled mussels from Palacio de Oriente on each one.
Enjoy this original tapa, eye-catching and with an extraordinary flavor.
