Directions
Mussels Sailor Style (Moules Mariniere), Every year we host a mussel party The number of attendees continues to increase as word gets out about how great this recipe is I always serve these mussels with plenty of crusty breads (french loaves, focaccia etc ) for dipping as the juices are just amazing , Super fast, super tasty, super easy, no need to be afraid of trying mussels with this recipe I love the addition of garlic, which I usually don’t use in mussels, but will from now on The butter makes a nice rich addition to the sauce You can easily use more than the two pounds of mussels but the same amount of other ingredients as you will have a wonderful quantity of sauce, even after reducing This is one of those simple, authentic recipes that really tastes like France for a minimum of time and trouble Be sure you have plenty of cold, dry white wine to serve with your mussels and crusty bread to dip in the sauce , I was a little apprehensive about cooking mussels, but this recipe definitely did not disappoint The Mussels were succulent and the sauce was absolutely superb I will be making this on a regular basis!
