As you know, I am about quick, easy and good in the kitchen. Well, this dish is all that. Things you are going to need need:
1 stick of unsalted butter.
1 cup of white wine
6 cloves of garlic
fresh parsley from the garden for some color.
and a baguette for dipping
2 pounds of live mussels.... and that's it. Super easy.
Get a big pot to melt your butter in and set to a medium high temperature. Once your butter is melted, drop your garlic in and roast it up nice, but don't burn it. Now, the hard part, these are live mussels, and I kind of feel bad for the little guys. They were just sitting in the fridge, minding their own business, not bothering anyone, and here I come along to send them to the afterlife in a blaze of butter and garlic. Well you gotta eat. Top of the food chain, yo!
Okay, after that morality crisis has passed, add your white wine to the mussels and cook for 10 minutes, or until all the muscles have opened. Do not eat the unopened mussels!! They will make you very sick. Lucky for me, every mussel opened and was cooked to perfection. Time to eat!!
We have a special guests rating our feast tonight:
Jerry Jackson: I like everything about it. 5 Stars.
Grace Jackson : The muscles were tender and the sauce was light. Was not too salty and was seasoned perfectly.
Rating 5.0
The total cost of the muscles was about 12 bucks for everything. Cheap dinner and fun to share with friends and family. Thanks for "Gracing" us with your presence. Till next time guys, All men must dine! ~Tony
