weekend? here's a quick and easy to prepare meal that'll knock their socks
off [or stockings] if your lucky !
Mussels in Garlic Sauce.
We start with mussels. If you've
Never tried mussels now's your chance. The re
delicious and best of all for those in a rush you can now buy them from the
supermarket precooked,
you'll find them in the chilled section or ask at the fish counter if they
have one. They come in a flat pouch with a Garlic and Butter sauce. All you
have to do is empty them in to a suitable container and Microwave for about
Five minutes. Serve with a piece of garlic bread. The best way to tackle
them is to hold between fingers and thumb And pick out the flesh in one go
with a fork. Any mussels that have not opened should not be eaten.
