Arahan

• Clean mussels, remove beards, and discard any broken/opened one. Soak mussels in clean cold water & change water often for 1 hr.

• In a pan, combine wine, shallots, bouquet garni, bring to a boil over medium heat & cook for 2 minutes.

• Add mussels and cook covered for 5 minutes or until all mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open. Serve w/ crusty French bread or mix w/ pasta.

Optional

• Heat 1T olive over in a pan over medium heat, add garlic, stir until lightly colored.

• Add tomato & half of basil, cook for 1 minute.

• Add white wine & cook for 2 minutes.

• Add mussels and cook covered for 5 minutes or until all mussels open.

Nota

• Omit Bouquet garni if cooking w/ option choice.

• Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are usually my choice, but Chardonnay will work too & easier to find.

• 1 medium size onion will work too if not shallots.
