Mussels

Last week at the Seibu department store we found some nice and big mussels that were not too expensive.
We wanted to try and cook mussels ever since we had them at Hornan's Kok and Belgo Bar in Stockholm, and finally the dream came true... OK, I'm slightly exaggerating.


I have to say that they are really easy to prepare. All one needs to do is remove the "beard" and scrub them thoroughly, and then improvise a juice in which they will be cooked for five minutes. We used olive oil, garlic, white wine, fresh tomato and basil. It was delicious even without french fries, just toasted bread and butter will do.
