Excellent first course for hungry dinner guests. I grilled slices of bread that I had dipped in olive oil and rubbed with garlic and put the bread on the bottom of individual bowls and ladled the mussels and juices over the bread. Delicious!
This recipe asks to add mussels first, but I think onions and garlic should go in the casserole at the beginning even with the herbs. When you begin with the mussels, you miss a lot of the flavor you can get out of all the others ingredients.
Delicious! We added about 1/2 cup chicken stock. Used chives instead of scallions because that’s what we had. Definitely will make again! Served with good French bread toasted and a salad of mixed greens.
An oldie but a goodie from a giant in the field. Follow it exactly and your guests will be impressed. Delicious!
Needs more acid.
