HINTS & TIPS
When using mussels, cook them on the day they are purchased
Any mussels that don’t open can be steamed again for 2 mins, if they still don’t open discard – This is a classic French bistro dish, serve with lots of bread
(don’t forget to add the cooking juices to the bowl for dipping the bread!)
