Garlic and Ginger White wine Mussels

Like myself, hubby is crazy for sea foods. On the eve of father's day here in Finland, he wanted some mussels badly. Luckily we found a great bargain for these in our shop and dinner was just perfect with hubby's freshly baked bread also.

For this delicious and easy dish all you'll be needing are; fresh mussels, grated garlic and ginger, a dash of cheap white wine , olive oil, salted butter and parsley for garnishing. Simple and delicious . I absence of expensive mussels(at least here in Finland), you can use frozen mussels instead. But add them straight from the freezer. Do not thaw them as the shell may open before You cook them, leading to overcooked and though mussels. You simply can not go wrong with this recipe. Hope you enjoy it and do let me know how it goes .

Recipe:

All you Need

20g butter
3 tablespoon of olive oil
1 garlic clove
2 inch size fresh ginger
1kg of fresh or frozen mussels
1/2 cup of white wine
1 handful of fresh parsley
Salt(optional)

How to make it

Add oil and butter to sizeable pan on a medium heat.
Allow oil/butter to heat and add grated garlic and ginger.
Same time, add mussels, stir to combine and cover.
Allow to cook about 5 mins and add wine.
Leave to boil until all the mussels are opened and cooked perfectly, 5-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and add parsley.
Leave the salt to last as the sea water from the mussels can be salty sometimes.

Serve with bread to soak up all the juicy stock .
