"Divine Delicious Delectable! Be sure to discard any opened or cracked raw mussel shells. Perfect for a romantic dinner for two. Add some lovely crusty bread to sop up the sinfully good sauce."

These were a hit! I made a couple changes, thanks in part to what I couldn't find, and a boyfriend trying to "help". Sauteed up some white onion at the start with the garlic, omitted the fresh dill (couldn't find any nice stuff), and added some crumbled bacon at the end too... My boyfriend had his elbows up and I had to push my way in to get any! Made for PAC Spring '10

Great easy way to prepare mussels! I used dried parsley and omitted the dill. I increased the wine to 1 cup as I had 5 pounds of mussels, added 1/2 teaspoon of crushed chilies. Served with a nice warm crusty baguette to dip into the broth. Wonderful!!!

This was wonderful! I forgot to add the garlic, but it was still delicious. I was initially wary of the dill since I've not been a hue fan in the past, but it was really good with the mussels. One thing to keep in mind with a dish like this is to prep ALL of your ingredients before hand. Prepping everything, made the actual cooking a breeze. I will make this again.

Zaar has been such a super experience for me.Not only do I get to try new recipes...play with my camera taking foodie pics but I get to make new friends along the way! I'm currently unemployed so have lots more time to devote to a couple of my passions...cooking and photography. So long as my health is good...I'm full speed ahead! I love gardening as well and grow my own herbs. I love my city...just ask me! LOL I &hearts; MTL Montreal has many food festivals and of course our famous Jazz festival and also the Comedy festival"Just for laughs". Below is my Grand-Kitten, Hopper...since I have no grandbabies yet and he belongs to my son...I decided he deserved the title and he is just the apple of my eye...he is 8 weeks in this pic. <img
