I didn't use mussels for this one as Gary doesn't like them so I used shrimp. I think this sauce was much tastier than the chorizo one. I like the dish you served your mussels in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298321698048045775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904224777464805669.post-56825500860562653152015-01-19T13:47:54.279+11:002015-01-19T13:47:54.279+11:00Double mussels.

Can you put that in words? I agree with you and Rose, of all the mussel recipes in AMFT, this is my favorite. I even like this better than the classic preparation. Don't beat yourself up too much about the leftovers issue. It's far easier now that I have more time to myself to put together decent meals and create leftover menus than when I was working and caring for Michael. Popcorn was dinner sometimes. Not so easy for you.
