    The sauce really is to die for. I served it to myself as written. DH wanted it over pasta as a main dish with some clams added. Great both ways.

    Mussels Saganaki, This delicious Greek dish makes a wonderful presentation and has a sauce to die for Though many people are familiar with Flaming Cheese Saganaki, there is no flaming involved in this dish! The word saganaki refers to the utensil used to cook the food in It’s a two-handled frying pan used for cooking a wide range of meze, since it can be transferred from range to table I personally like this served in a beautiful, hand-thrown and glazed ceramic bowl , The sauce really is to die for I served it to myself as written DH wanted it over pasta as a main dish with some clams added Great both ways
