From Sparrow’s dinner menu, the Mussels and Sausages is a hearty, pan-to-table shareable for $16.
About the Dish
This dish brings together sauteed fresh-caught PNW mussels and Italian sausage made by local butcher Cascioppo, cooked down with garlic, serrano peppers, and a white wine lemon pan sauce. The mussels steam open in that bright, garlicky pan sauce while the Cascioppo sausage adds a savory, peppery backbone, and the serrano brings a gentle kick of heat. It is served with house bread, which you will want for soaking up every last bit of the sauce at the bottom of the bowl. The local Pacific Northwest mussels and the Cascioppo sausage are what set it apart, and the bold flavors make it a standout shareable at our Kirkland spot in the Juanita neighborhood on the Eastside.
What to Drink With It
The white wine lemon sauce points straight to a bright white. A glass of Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc mirrors the lemon and cuts the richness of the sausage, while the Eroica Riesling cools the serrano heat. See the full Sparrow beverages menu for more.
