- For the salt-roasted pearl onions: Place onions whole in a roasting pan on a layer of coarse salt. Cover with foil. Roast for 20-30mins at 350u0b0F degrees or until the onions have softened. Cool and peel. For the mussels: Shave garlic and place in a pot with olive oil over high heat. Before the garlic colours add 3 good splashes of white wine and reduce. Add balsam fir and season with salt and pepper. Add washed mussels and cover for 5-7 minutes (they are cooked when they have opened). Finish with fresh chopped radicchio and serve immediately.
