Making Mussels in Marinara Sauce
Make certain you follow the correct procedures
for cleaning mussels before beginning this simple
dish.
We find the best way to eat mussels is the French
way; picking up one mussel in each hand and
then pinching the meat out of the mussels with the
shell of the mussel in the opposite hand. You may
want to provide bibs for children, messy eaters or
simply as a fun option.
