While working on developing a recipe for the Sustainable Seafood Blog Project I visited the seafood department of my local Whole Foods. If you read the SSBP post you know I pay particular attention to where my seafood comes from as well as how it was caught. I found these fresh, east coast mussels had just arrived on one of the days I shopped and knowing how much my man Dan loves mussels I grabbed a bag to steam for dinner that night.
I suppose it could be intimidating to think of cooking mussels in your own kitchen, but don’t go there. It is one of the easiest recipes to prepare at home and much more cost effective than ordering mussels in a restaurant. A bag of mussels from your local seafood monger makes a quick, tasty and easy meal for two or appetizer course for a few diners. Be sure to grab a loaf of fresh, crusty bread for dipping in the wine sauce – that’s the best part. Buy good wine – one that you enjoy because you’ll have plenty left over to pour with dinner.
