Mussels from Antwerp
I don’t really like to eat mussels often. Twice a year is enough for me: once in a restaurant and once at home.Either I steam them in my Miele steamer or I cook them in a large Staub. Both very easy and ‘one pot’ solutions.
Thai Flavored Mussels
It is important you buy fresh mussels and rinse them well before cooking. I always let them soak for 5 minutes in water and then start rinsing them one by one so all the .
Last summer I prepared this very easy recipe filled with Thai herbs I had left from making ceviche.
Some lime wedges to finish
