This has got to be one of the most quick and easy recipes for mussels with such outstanding flavour. I changed it slightly and have listed changes below, this was just due to personal preference and the fact I wanted it to be more like a soup with lots of juice. I loved it and the quickness of this recipe is a great bonus. I also loved the fact that there are few ingredients which makes for a no fuss meal. If you want to read other reviews click here.
