  1. Delicious! Yet another way to serve mussels. I do live on the coast, but mussels are only sold in 2 or 5 lb bags. That's a lot of mussels for two people! Very glad to have this alternative. In future, though, I will add some chicken broth so that their is more sauce. Made for ZWT 6.
     
  2. Easy and perfect for a crowd
