Mussels are like the unsung heroes in the shellfish category! It might not be much to look at, but these black-shelled little critters punches way above its weight when it comes to taste. The intensity of shoreline flavours these things kick out is simply incredible and irresistible! The versatility of these delicious morsels can transform any simple menu to an indulgent menu.
I know that cooking mussels can feel quite intimidating as there are so many do’s and don’ts while preparing any shellfish that we tend to eat them only at restaurants as a special treat. But mussels are so fast and easy to make that there is no reason they cannot be made on busy weekday evenings at home.
This recipe is close to my heart as it is flavoursome, delicious, packs a punch and simply irresistible. A big bowl of flavoured mussels with a nice crusty bread to mop up the broth will simply wrap you in a blanket of comfort and indulgence.
Not only are these magical shells delicious but they are highly nutritious. They are an excellent source of iron and Vitamin B12 and a good source of zinc. In addition, they are also high in protein, heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and low in calories.
