This recipe is a winner! The mussels were plump and juicy and the sauce was out of this world. I served it with crusty bread to soak up all the deliciousness.

I used a different type of white wine than the recipe called for and it turned out great! I think this dish is very versatile and can be easily disesuaikan.

The mussels were a bit sandy, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try rinsing the mussels more thoroughly next time.
