You husband is still talking about it at breakfast!
Last night we had mussels in white wine and garlic bread. I swear this dish isn't hard and it will make you look like a rock star when you are done.
You will need: 2 pounds of mussels, half a stick of butter, a little over one cup of dry white wine, three cloves of garlic, and one fresh tomato.
Step one: Clean the mussels in a sink full of cold water. If any are open or cracked you'll need to toss them. Remove any beards and barnacles from the outside. They need to be closed tightly to be okay to cook.
Step two. Dump the wine and garlic into a big pot and set it to boil. This should only take a few moments because there isn't much of it.
Step three: Dump the mussels into the wine and put the lid on. Cook for 8 minutes. You'll need to adjust the heat along the way, because the liquid may boil over.
Step four. After they are done, remove the mussels from the liquid. Don't dump anything out. Once the mussels are gone drop in the butter and cook for another minute or two.
Step five. Cut up the tomato and put it in the bottom of the bowl for the liquid. Dump the broth on top.
To serve: Place out mussels, garlic bread and broth. Eat. You won't talk too much.
