Mussels Sailor Style (Moules Mariniere) image

Every year we host a mussel party. The number of attendees continues to increase as word gets out about how great this recipe is. I always serve these mussels with plenty of crusty breads (french loaves, focaccia etc.) for dipping as the juices are just amazing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I had some leftover mussels from a seafood boil and decided to try this recipe. The mussels were delicious and the sauce was perfect.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The mussels are plump and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and garlicky. I like to add a little extra white wine to the sauce for a bit more depth of flavor.
