Description

Mussels are one of my favorite dishes! Cooking them on a grill adds a extra nuance of flavor, but you can follow this same recipe on the stovetop. Serve a big bowl as an appetizer, or as an intimate main course. Don’t forget the grilled bread to dip in the flavorful broth!

1/2 stick butter

Cook, while stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes, or until all mussels are opened. Discard any unopened ones. Pour mussels and broth into a large serving bowl.
