Cooking
for someone special this 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.
