...but molluscs are marvellous! And pretty stupid, so they probably don't mind being eaten at all.
I could eat mussels all day, perhaps with occasional breaks to eat asparagus. I imagine that's a perfectly balanced diet.
In spite of this, somehow I'd never actually cooked them...
These ones (and the photo, obviously, is of the aftermath) were simply washed, and added to a pan of fried onion and garlic, over which I poured a 200ml box of white wine.
(200ml box of white wine? Is that for kids to put in their lunch boxes? How continental!)
The pan was covered, and simmered for a little over 10 minutes.
My supermarket sells them in netted bags, and I failed to notice their weight; I think it was less than a kilo...
