A Smoked Mussel Ragu is a flavorful sauce or ragu made with smoked mussels as the main ingredient. Ragu is an Italian term used to describe a meat-based sauce that is typically simmered for a long time to develop rich flavors. However, in the case of a Smoked Mussel Ragu, the sauce is seafood-based and features the smoky and briny flavors of the mussels.

The result is a savory, smoky, and briny sauce with tender and flavorful mussels infused throughout. Smoked Mussel Ragu can be a unique and delicious seafood-based alternative to traditional meat ragu dishes.
