Mussels on the Half Shell with Ravigote SauceRomulo Yanes

Ravigote sauce is piquant vinaigrette that typically contains onions, capers, and herbs. The hard-boiled egg in this rendition gives the sauce body.

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr

Cooks' notes:

• Mussels can be chilled in sauce up to 6 hours. • Mussels on the half shell can be assembled on platter 1 hour before serving and chilled. • Instead of serving on the half shell, you can spoon mussels and some sauce over a bed of romaine (and discard shells).
