Post your copycat recipes here! I just made this one today and it was SO on point:

Mussels Josephine (Bonefish Grill)

Ingredients
3 dozen fresh prince edward mussels ( about 2 pounds)
4 ounces chopped yellow onions
2 ounces chopped garlic
14 ounces chopped tomatoes, juice and all ( canned organic tomatoes can be substituted)
fresh basil
2 ounces sambuca romana or 2 ounces ouzo or 2 ounces Pernod
½ lemons, juice of parsley, garnish

Lemon Butter Sauce (use 3/4 cup)
¼ cup real butter
2 tablespoons minced yellow onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/3; cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
kosher salt or sea salt
white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions
1. Coat a hot skillet with melted butter. Add the fresh Prince Edward mussels to the skillet, and cover. The steam will cook the mussels, along with the heat of the pan. It will take about 1-2 minutes to cook the mussels. You'll know when they're done when the mussels begin to open.

2. Next, add into the pan: 4 oz chopped onions, 2 oz chopped garlic, 14 oz chopped tomatoes.
Add 2 ounces of sambuca (licorice flavored liquor) - let the alcohol cook off, then add fresh basil, lemon juice and lemon butter sauce to the pan. Cook for 45 seconds.

3. Discard any mussels that did not open. Serve in a large bowl, topped with fresh chopped parsley.


Lemon Butter Sauce
1. Melt butter over low heat;remove from heat and let sit until the milk solids settle to the bottom; skim the clear butter from the top; discard the sediment.

2. Sauté onion and garlic in 2 tbs of the clarified butter until transparent.

3. Stir in lemon juice and white wine and season with salt and pepper.

4.Simmer 2-3 minutes to reduce liquid.

5. Remove from heat and swirl in cold butter until sauce is smooth and butter is melted.

2/23/2012 8:39:03 PM

that looks pretty similar to the one I remember using. except i think the one I used had nutmeg

but omg i would bake it rather than fry it so I didn't feel as bad eating like a pound of chicken nuggets

2/23/2012 8:41:38 PM

That is a statement, not a question. A question mark is not needed.

they should have an attendant at the chocolate fountain that does all the dipping for you

that would make it much more sanitary and, ergo, much more appealing
