In this dish, raw mussels are combined with freshly ground pepper in a skillet over a very hot flame; they should be eaten piping hot. Liana DiMeglio of Liana's Trattoria in Fairfield, Connecticut, brought this recipe from Naples, Italy, years ago.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I always have a few left over from my seafood boils and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of mussels, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The black pepper and white wine really made a difference.

The mussels were a little overcooked for my taste, but the broth was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again with a shorter cooking time.
