AN EASY MUSSELS RECIPE
Everyone’s over here like, working on their Superbowl menu, liiiike? and I’m like, what’s for Valentine’s Day dinner?!? Mussels, of course!
Hello Hello! Wednesday, you’re beautiful! …that’s a lie.
It’s windy, it’s freezing cold, and it’s raining. ON the bright side; no snow. Yet.
Remind me again, why I haven’t moved to a very warm State? Duh!
More importantly,it’s been way too long since we discussed garlicbutter. Right?! You know what’s up!
So in terms of discussing, I guess I’m just going to tell you that I made these mussels. In fact, I roasted DEEZ mussels. How’s that for better taste? Everything that is roasted becomes my new favorite. I used to hate green beans, but once I roasted them? WOOOOT! I was IN!
Same thing happened here.
My husband loves to slurrrrp up them mussels. ME? Not so much.
…until? … that’s right. Until the oven winked at me and said, Come hither, and use me. USEme so those musselsbecometh the love of thy life.
She was right! BUT not before I added some garlic to it all. In butter form. Mixed in with bread crumbs. Err! Panko crumbs!
I swear that a little goes a long way and it really makes the mussels POP. The crunch, especially, blew my mind.
But it goes without saying that any type of garlic-butter combois always the part I love in a recipe, and given my fascination with that, it was only a matter of time before I added it to all my seafood. And veg.
You know what, though? It’s even better when you add all of these pretty little mussels overa mound of pasta. SO GOOD!
ENJOY!
